UF alumni here no absolutely no.

For 50,000 students from Sept to May fun trashy times....

Ben Sasse is moving to town also hell no.

A pain in the neck to get to an airport.

Zero culture.[/quote]

+1.  Do you really want to be surrounded by college-age kids?  By the time my kids are grown I think I’ll be happy to not be surrounded by that age group.[/quote]

I know that old people in certain college neighborhoods - even though the college has been there LONG before them - make it their hobby to actually complain about the students. Maybe some of it is true, but honestly 1.) think of what you are getting into when you move there and 2.) Don't expect students to not have college culture at and near their campus - it has always been that way, and it always will be - not matter HOW much the old people complain. [/quote]

Lol, I know the locals in my kid's college town do this!   The university has been there for over 150 years, yet to hear these people rant you'd think a 30,000+ student university (complete with med school, law school, etc.) just popped up out of nowhere 3 years ago!
