[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is going to be one of 35,000.  Of course it’s going to be competitive, survival of the fittest for clubs, office hours, classes, etc. . . [/quote]

True, but even big schools can have collaborative environments.  From what I hear from people who actually attend, the experience is very positive.  So it seems that any kind of competitiveness is outweighed by many positives.[/quote]

Sure, kids like to party and Florida is a party school.  [/quote]
Florida isn’t any more of a party school than any college is. FSU has a bigger reputation for being a party school. [/quote]

Well sure but they are both party schools.[/quote]
Well the OP is worried about it being a toxic competitive environment. It’s maybe a work hard, play hard type of environment but it’s definitely not a bunch of kids who just went to college to party.

I agree - especially, since the standards of getting in are so competitive compared to what it was like even just 15 years ago.  So many of the kids that attend are those that were at the top of their class.  I sort of got the feeling that these kids are fairly well balanced.  [/quote]
