A bit late to to this thread, but my two cents, Floridadad…

S1 was between Ga Tech and UF and went UF for engineering. Great program and, quite honestly, his close friends were going and that tipped the scales.

S2 is not a fan of either FSU or UF. Nothing in either city and no big fan of Gator/Nole schtick, even though he plays two varsity sports. Hates the UF campus. 24 hour Taco Bell and his brother are the only bright points in his book.

Personally, I think the UF campus looks like the Bronx meets Deliverance. FSU, though nicer, is still in Podunk, so I’m w S2 on that.

UCF, although large, has a very nice campus, good programs, and better location for internships. The state schools will change in rankings many times over, othervthan law school. That said, each kid has to find their own niche.

D1 turned down UF, UCF, FSU and 8 northeast schools to attend UNF. Happy and working now in NY for major sports team. It’s what they make of it.

S2… probably headed to Boston area school of 2000.
