UCF is a commuter school. Or it was when I lived in Orlando twenty years ago.

Agree! Very cool school.


I had never heard of it until a couple of DC’s friends chose to attend. Both were baseball players. It’s a small school with solid academics and strong athletics. But college in Florida? Seriously? Can’t think of anything less appealing….


OP here . I’m glad you have your opinion. I wouldn’t necessarily choose it either, but my child really wants to consider it, so here we are.

Thanks so much to those that provided suggestions.

Already have UMiami (realize it’s a reach), Eckerd and Rollins. Where else should we tour/consider?


U Miami a reach with 3.7?


Yes. Very popular school. Some of DD's friends with high stats thought they'd get in. DD knew she wouldn't and she had a 3.7.

University of North Florida in Jax. It’s a beautiful campus built on a nature preserve. Near the beach. Near the airport. Near shopping and restaurants. Definitely visit!

Oh, oops. I misread the size you all wanted. Skip FIT and UCF. The other two are small.
