<p>ABC,
Are you from Florida? As a New Yorker I think that those people from Florida who try to tear down FSU to pump up UF are doing a diservice to both universities as well as the entire FL state college system.
Why not be proud that you have a top notch system that adds value to your degree and entire state? NYS has the SUNY system, it is quite excellent. SUNY Binghamton is one of the most difficult to gain entrance too. However I have never heard one Bing. student putting down or being critical if naother kid is going to SUNY Albany instead.
It has been my experience that most New Yorkers are unaware that the FL sysytem is so strong much less that UF has a higher overall academic record. Keep in mind people on this board are interested in college guide books etc, most busy people unless they are in the college realm are not aware of such details. This is my POV as an OOS you may not agree, I think outting down all the other fine FL universities inc UCF FAU etc to buid up UF does the state more harm than good</p>
