Without getting long winded, the Tampa Bay area is much similar to Miami/Broward in many ways–maybe just a little slower paced and with a less crowded feeling. Tampa is less tropical than Miami and gets some hard freezes sometimes in the winter. By contrast, “country towns” like Tallahassee and Gainesville can be quite a cultural shock for some students coming up from the Miami/Broward/Palm Beach area.
