Probably the Florida Gators overall - but also as the best public school in Florida, and among the top tier of public schools in the S.East

My school is best known for the pride it shares for its sports teams. Gator football unites all those who go here in the fall at an almost religious level. It trumps everything else when it comes to what the students are focusing on. It sometimes makes it hard to focus on more educationally imporant things such as research papers when a game party was held the night before. I personally try not to focus too heavily on the draw of the game, but it is electric energy that takes over the entire town of Gainesville.

My school is best known for excellent academic and sports. Also, it is a public research university and is one of few schools to have public land and sea grants for research.

Now it is known for its Athletics. But it is know for its research that the school performs on a variety of subjects ranging from agriculture, to zoology.

Research focus, spirited fans, Gator football.

The University of Florida is the fourth largest campus in America. As the admission process becomes more competitive each year, only the most outstanding thrity-six percent of students are accepted. Throughout the 2,000 acre campus, popular landmarks of the university reside, including Century Bell Tower, the Stephen O'Connell Center, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, and Reitz Student Union. Whether you are watching the three-time national championship football players in the stadium, grabbing Gatorade (the school's own creation) from the fridge, or exploring the university's historic buildings, the spirit of Gator Nation can be seen everywhere.

Well the obvious answer would be Gator Football. But as I am not terribly interested in the football program, I would venture that University of Florida is known for its amazing research opportunities, especially those at Shand's Medical Center. Shand's seems to be ever expanding and is always willing to take on students for volunteer opportunities. UF has an expansive research and internship program for most of its majors.

Well, we did win TWO National Championships for football in the past few years!!! GO GATORS! But UF has so much more to offer than just sports.

The school is best know for its research and the medical center. The school has many research facilities that stimulate growth.
