I grew up in Florida, graduated from a Florida high school, and went the the University of Florida (now considered public Ivy). I got a terrific education, and graduated with little debt. I got a job right out of school, as did most of my friends, in the early 80s. My friends who have kids in college now or just through were able to put their kids through college with little to no debt because of the Florida prepaid tuition and the scholarships public school kids get in Florida. These kids are graduating as lawyers, engineers, doctors, accountants -- just like their parents 35 years ago.

I loved growing up in Florida. It's a wonderful, laid-back lifestyle. You can achieve without being the uber-type A you seem to need to be in the Northeast.

I am PP from Florida, and yes I agree it is a big state but it way way undervalues education across the board. Private is necessary if you want kids to leave the state.

But if you are happy with kids going native, they can work at Kennedy or McDill as engineers, entertainment lawyers or accounts at Disney, or find some niche in Miami in trade or tourism. But if their kid has aspirations for something more than finding a job and low cost of living in Florida, then they are definitely limiting their DD option.  Check out 'sunshine tax'.

This is the first time I have ever hear UF as a public Ivy. I really don't see it comparing to Ann Arbor, UNC, or or Penn State. But Florida scholars can be great, though I heard it was oversubscribed?[/quote]
