Answer 1 :
i got accepted into UF and turned it down after going on there tours ... its really not the kind of school where people can excel!! ur pretty much blended into the crowd and u dont get individual training. as for the college of engineering, which major are u talking about cuz it varies. as for the florida weather, i've been here 11 years and lemme tell ya ... in the summer, there are days when u can walk out of ur house and feel as tho u cant breath because its so hot!!! mosquitos, humidity, and sun like u wouldnt believe .. unless ur on the beach, it sucks!!! and then there's the rain that starts at 2 PM every single day and doesnt stop until its dark out ... so basically u can go to the beach in the morning, otherwise u'll get stuck in the jungle-like rains... and dont even get me started on hurricane season!!! i really wanna leave florida!!!
Answer 2 :
If you can get accepted to UF College of Engineering then you can probable get accepted to a better school. UF is huge and is having troubles with funding their school properly. I would suggest the following public schools over Florida. University of California-Berkeley University of Illinois Georgia Institute of Technology University of Texas Purdue University University of Michigan Texas A&M University Virginia Tech Pennsylvania State University UF is a huge school. They have over 50,000 students. Of course that means that you are treated like cattle at UF and the class sizes are huge no matter what major you are in. And that also means the student to faculty ratio sucks and the amount of money and resources spent on each student is less at UF than any other college in the above list.
