Agreed, and UF is one of the top public schools in the country. However, I do feel how you end up after college is more about what you do while there than where you go.
UF, while a decent school, is not one of the top 10 public universities. It may not be top 15.
They are making big cuts to the Bright Future program and UF tuition went up 15% this year.
Damn, that's too bad. It really is a great deal for those that can achieve the requirements.
Which currently is a high school weighted GPA of 3.5. Pretty easy to get for just about every kid that would be getting into UF anyways.

it's not stalkerish to remember obnoxious things obnoxious people say
yeah. give me a fucking break. not everyone thinks as highly of you as you apparently do.
Many would say the same thing about Law School. I fucked up on my LSAT and am did not get into a great law school (Charleston Law), and now I'm not sure it's worth the $38k a year to attend versus taking time off and going somewhere better, given how crappy the law job market is.
So let's say you plan to go to school in NC, undecided major and your options are as follows because although you'd be in the top 25% of the incoming class at UNC-CH, the NC legislature has foolishly decided that it needs to admit morons from rural counties instead of the actual best students in the state. Therefore, UNC-CH is not an option, the following schools are:
Wake
Elon
NC State
App, ECU, UNC-C, UNC-G, UNC-W, etc
USC - out of state
Should you go to Wake, which is a top 30 institution; State, which is a decent school in the top 150 and much cheaper; USC which is less specialized and costs between State and Wake; or one of the public diploma mills?
Keep in mind, none of these schools are free, and the college experience you actually sought was at UNC-CH. Where are you most likely to find it?
All this thread proves is that most of us live in a fucking fantasy land that's far removed from the average person in this country. Reading these comments you'd think that Wake Forest was on par with Campbell. Everyone knows it's not Princeton or Harvard but being a top 25 national university is a pretty big deal.
I agree with you Willis although I think 3-5 years of experience would be a more comfortable track record. No matter where you go to school you're eventually going to have to show you've got what it takes to do your job well.
