The University of Florida is one of the top public schools in the nation for several reasons. Located in Gainesville, FL, students are only a few hours away from all the attractions Florida has to offer. Yet UF has so much to offer in Gainesville, the ADPi's and all the other students have no problems finding exciting things to do. With football games, Homecoming and Gator Growl, Gainesville nightlife, and so much more, each fall and spring seem to fly by fast.
Students are serious here.
As well as being the oldest and largest school in Florida, UF also has the highest GPA and SAT scores of entering freshman. Nationally, UF continually pulls in an astounding number of National Merit Scholars each year. It is one of the top 62 higher-education institutions in the Association of American Universities. With about 44,000 in attendance, the university ranks as one of the nation's largest schools. There are 30 colleges and over 100 undergraduate majors.
