[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a DC25. For those with oos kids who applied to UF, what were some of the reasons they loved the school? It is obviously popular, and the rankings are high, but what else? Is the campus and town really great? Sports teams? Vibe of the student body? Scholarships?

We wouldn't be able to visit anytime soon, so your insight is appreciated![/quote]

All of those things that you mentioned.  Plus, the OOS cost WITHOUT any scholarship was still the same cost as in-state for W&M and UVA.  My kid did receive a small scholarship though, which made the cost less.  My kid also wanted to get away from the DC and not go to the same school that many of their high school classmates are attending.  The weather also helps.  Also, it's kind of nice that in Florida, everyone looks so highly at UF.  Some employers will only hire from UF v. other Florida schools.  The prestige is definitely a real thing in Florida.  Overall, UF is a very solid school.  The only thing negative is that the dorms are terrible (compared to other schools).[/quote]

What makes the dorms terrible?[/quote]
