This just isn't true. UF grads have great employment options in NYC and other major job hub areas, on par with UNC and UT.

Some posters on this board post a lot of false statements about Florida because they hate DeSantis and hate that Florida went for Trump.

? TX and NC also went for Trump, and a lot of posters hate Abbott, too.

This board is particularly hostile towards Florida. I think it’s just a small number of very active posters, but it’s noticeable.

Perhaps there’s jealousy?

Yes, we are jealous of the diploma mill which educates a large chunk of its undergrads via online class. The joke is on the non Florida residents who actually pay tuition for that.

FWIW all those schools are party schools if that is your thing. UF was known for many years for its ready supply of illegal drugs as well as the usual alcohol. I think that perception has changed but who knows....here is a 1982 "typical" day time throwdown at UF!!!!!!!!!!!! Do these look like top shelf scholar types?

You could step off the short bus into any of those schools in 1982. Even Ivies like Penn had a 50% acceptance rate then. And while they've gotten orders of magnitude more selective since then, they're all still massive party schools. Check out Franklin St in Chapel Hill right after the Heels beat Duke in basketball. Those students in that moment aren't going to look like "top shelf scholar types" either. UF can hold its own against UT-Austin and UNC. They're all equally elite.

Exactly. We're talking about how those three schools are elite peers now, not what the college admissions landscape looked like in 1982!

Even now, no one perceives UF to be a peer of UNC or UT. It’s a tier below with UGA.

UGA didn’t even make it to a safety school in my kid’s list. We consider it two tiers below Rutgers and UDub.

You’re a dumba$$

One’s intelligence must be utterly lacking to resort to name calling!
