I read a lot on CC, particularly about the FL schools, and rarely post. I generally like SSobick’s posts, because they are informative, even if obviously heavily biased in favor of UF (no doubt a proud alumnus). I’m posting just to say I’m continually amazed at how all of you are missing the forest for the trees. Why so much emphasis on trying to prove which school is better overall by a bunch of stats? What counts is which fits the needs of a particular student better. My son is a UM freshman. He got into UF, but for him it was not even a close choice. Both are excellent schools, but UM was just a far better fit FOR HIM. Isn’t that all that really matters?
