How would you rank UF UM FSU and stetson.

I think the general accepted ranking is:

1. UF
2. FSU
3. UM
4. Stetson

I would agree with deadpanic's rakings of :

1. UF
2. FSU
3. UM
4. Stetson

However, FIU is coming on strongly. This is particularly true for their cheap pricing, which is attracting a number of qualified candidates. Don't be surprised in the near future
if they surpass UM. You heard it here. This is also somewhat true for Stetson, who is making a big effort to attract some nationally known faculty and are also a bit less expensive than that of Miami..

uf >>> um/fsu > stetson/fiu >>> st thomas/nova/etc.

i heard UM is good if you plan on practicing in south florida..is that true

UF=UM>FSU>Stetson.

Yes, I realize that UF is a much better financial decision than UM.

However, that is not what the OP asked.

South FL: UM > UF> FSU
Rest: UF>FSU>UM

Florida obviously places the best statewide but Miami is #1 in South Fla (defined as miami dade, palm beach, broward counties). Miami is the least "southern" of these schools

he asked for the ranking, and to put uf/um as equivalents is borderline criminal. this is coming from a so. fl resident and a huge um supporter, btw.

in no way does UF=Miami. UF is superior, probably far superior

I am a UF undergrad looking to practice in South Florida. Whats the best choice ?

Central and North FL

UF>FSU>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stetson

Don't go anywhere else, and don't go to Stetson unless you're getting about a full scholarship. UF or FSU in-state is the best bet.

South FL

UF=UM or UF>UM. UM>UF is not a good argument. And don't go to Miami unless you're getting gobs of cash. Eagles will disagree vehemently on these two points.

UF. Cheaper, and if S. FL does not work out, you will have better statewide prospects.

Do you have S. FL ties, incidentally?

Rad Law, you really think UF=UM in South Florida? Why?

radlaw has something against miami.... i dont get all his love for UF but whatever. He also is useless for advice and repeats the same talking pts about 50 times a day

Depends on the student, but alumni network and loyalty basically. I don't have a strong opinion other than that UM>UF is false. It really is tough to call, but I still recommend UF in-state over Miami in every situation except probably a full scholarship.

Better jobs / debt ratio.

I grew up in South Florida, and have solid connections with some private attorneys and firms

Then I'd go to UF.

appreciate the feedback

Reasoning:

UF has better statewide prospects just in case Miami doesn't work out. Furthermore, you already have connections in the area and a concrete reason to tell employers about why you want to work in Miami. You don't need UM to provide that stuff. So go to UF.

How can you not rank Barry?
