The top schools in Florida (in order)

Public:

1. University of Florida (Gainsville)
2. University of Central Florida (Orlando)
3. Florida State University (Tallahassee)
4. University of South Florida (Tampa)
5. Florida International University (Miami)

Private:

1. University of Miami (Miami)
2. Nova Southeastern University (Ft. Lauderdale)
3. Rollins College (Winter Park/ Orlando


In regards to studying medicine, the University of Florida is definitely the better of the two choices. But why are you limiting yourself to just those two? The University of Miami has the best Med. School in Florida and is one of the top schools in the nation. They also have a dual-degree program in medicine that is very very very good. The program is very competitive though, and the University as a whole also has competitive admissions (more competitive than UF). There are also other schools that are well knwn for their medical programs in florida.
Now, if you have your mind set on Rollins and UF, then from a purely financial standpoint I would pick UF. Think about it, you will be going to school for years, you might as well save money on your undergrad education, so your not drowning in debt even before you go to med school. But if money is not a problem, then you can go to whichever school you want.
Now:
At Rollins your classes will probably be smaller, you will probably be taught by proffesors (not Teachers Assistants) and you wil probably have more access to you professors for assitance. I have known many people who have gone to UF and been disapointed because the school is so large that the educationn suffers( classes are large, professors are inaccessible and TA's teach the classes).This may not always be true but it is a challege that UF faces, because of their size. On the other hand UF does have the better reputation in the medical field.

Ultimatly, it really depends on your situation and what is important to you. You have to decide what you want from your school.

Good Luck

Rollins is a good college.

For the top medical schools in Florida I would recommend University of Miami which is a private school but it has a top medical program, then I would recommend UF, then FSU and UCF. All these are large schools but if you want to go to a smaller school Rollins is a great choice.

University of Florida. Rollins is a decent school, though, so it shouldn't keep you from being able to go to medical school if that is where you want to be.

I went to FSU or maybe though it has a rep for being a "social gathering college," college is what you're making of it. in case you realize that what you're doing is going to make a distinction to notwithstanding while you're universal to med college, you ought to be the only that takes the initiative to stop partying and initiate interpreting. That pronounced, FSU's med college continues to be particularly new and to no longer boot progressed as others, although, so a ways as pre-med is going, you may have a level in biology from everywhere as long as you bypass the scientific front attempt and have taken the the main suitable option pre-recs. As for colleges in FL, the checklist is so incredibly long, there are a minimum of a a hundred state and private community colleges, universities, and private colleges, yet for drugs, as much because it pains me to declare this as a complicated-center Seminole, UF is in all probability your maximum suitable guess. merely bear in strategies that notwithstanding how stable the college is, while you're actually not mushy there, you're actually not likely to do properly. wish that helps. I thoroughly enjoyed my years at FSU(virtually social gathering loose) and would not substitute that have for the international, as quickly as a Seminole, continuously a Seminole!!! F-L-O-R-I-D-A-S-T-A-T-E. Florida State, Florida State, Florida State, Woo!
