University of Florida and Florida State are two very good schools. I can't remember which is which, but the one in Gainesville is sweet . . .

Gainsville is the UF (University of Florida) Gators! That's where I graduated from with a degree in Computer Engineering. Great School. I hate FSU but I have to because I'm a Gator. It's mandatory.
They are all great schools really, but UF and FSU are the two main state universities in Florida as far as recognition. University of Miami is a private school and costs much more.

If paying tuition is an issue it's cheaper to go to a private college, public schools will charge you non-resident tutiton which is like double what redsidents pay and private colleges charge everyone at the same rate. I live 5 mins from the FL border near Jacksonville, and I plan to go to Jacksonville University in the fall for Marine Science, that's a good school with alot of programs and on campus housing, but there are other private schools in FL too, just do an online search. :joy:
P.S.
I hope you spell your major correctly when you apply, lol, j/k.

One of my friends is going to university of miami and loves it. If you want to be warmth the further south the better.

I'm not sure as I've always been a residence, but I think you can apply for residency after 6 months so it's only expensive for a semester. Don't quote me on that though as I may have heard it wrong.
The University of Miami in Coral Gables is a very nice school. I have been there numerous times for training. Miami girls are gorgeous. Especially on South Beach.

You may be exactly right on the time and you do make a very good point about non-resident tuition. It is much higher.

I already looked at tutition and from what I see out of state public is cheaper than in state private and Virginia colleges are great but University of Richmond's is around $34,000 FSU out of state is only $14,000 (aprox)

Oh well, I was referring to private out of state schools, maybe you misread my post, I don't know. Well, good luck.
