[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Florida is on the rise and they are now a top Public university. The students love it and they are attracting top students across the US.  I know at least 7 kids headed there in the fall. Three are National Merit students and the other 4 are strong academically too.[/quote]

It gives free tuition for National Merit students.

But, how exactly is Univ of Florida much better than Univ of Washington (ranked 58 by US News)?

It's interesting that the reputation of the US colleges are largely controlled by a magazine that has been bankrupt for a long time. If for some reason US News drops a college by a few spots, then people scream that the college is in decline. Colleges kowtows to the magazine in order not to be punished. [/quote]
Free tuition, room and board for NMF (non-residents Included) under the Benaquisto scholarship. That is true of all Florida public universities. [/quote]

I think they are removing the out-of-state benefits for NMF. One of the reason my DC decided against going there. There was a risk that the program will be defunded.[/quote]

My DD roommate has a full ride to U of Florida with the Benaquisto scholarship, your DC would have been grandfathered in if they changed it.  Hope your DC does great wherever they selected and congratulations on them receiving NMF.  You should be a proud parent on them receiving the NMF award![/quote]
