[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there so many in Floridians so  obsessed with University of Florida to the point that they won't even consider other schools (like FSU or UCF) if they don't get into UF.  On various boards about UF, a lot of people look at UF like an all or nothing.  In Virginia, if someone doesn't get into William & Mary or UVA, they will definitely consider other schools like Tech or JMU.  On College Confidential, there was a whole conversation about how OOS students were taking away spots from Florida residents.  I don't think people in VA feel that way about Virginia schools.

UF is an affordable, highly ranked school with a very strong alumni network. It has the powerhouse sports teams, school spirit and Greek life that comes with the SEC, but is more politically and culturally diverse than most of the other southern flagships. The connection alumni feel to UF is really special. My student has had so many alumni come up to her when she’s wearing her UF sweatshirt, share stories about their time at UF, and offer to help with networking. I enjoyed college at my own state flagship, but have never felt compelled to do something like that.[/quote]
