<p>Agree RE UF/FSU having different strengths. I think most Floridians are equally proud of both universities- at least I don’t see the “hatred” you see among other state rivals (although we do have our good natured rivalry). </p>
<p>The towns themselves are quite different, other than both being Florida towns. Gainesville is more “Ocala-ish”; more country/agricultural, strictly a college town. Tallahassee obviously is more sophisticated (state capital)- more like an old southern city. Anyone can come in and correct me if I’m wrong!</p>
