I have a son who is a freshman at UF and he turned down an almost full ride at another state university to go to UF. I think that he now seriously regrets that decision. He does not find the academic work challenging enough and he has to take out student loans, in addition to what I am able to pay. When he was in high school, he could not fully appreciate money or the concept of paying back a loan so I don’t think he put enough thought into his decision. He got swept up in the “everyone has to go to UF” mania in high school.

Yes UF is a good school. Is it worth giving up 24K towards your education? No. Absolutely not.
