While Florida Universities have a well-earned reputation as party campuses, that does not detract from their value.

And don't sleep on the other large universities either. Florida residents are lucky to have such excellent universities at their doorstep, and out of staters needn't sacrifice their future prospects for Florida fun and sun.
