Fl srna, Hi. I am in the process of researching schools to apply to for next year and Florida has been one of my top two states. I was actually looking into the two schools in Miami. I would actually prefer not to be in SE florida, but those are two big schools that I might have a chance of getting into. Plus, I have family there, and now that I have a baby daughter at home, it would be nice to have some help with babysitting!:chuckle How bad is it? Are these schools any worse than other programs or is it just because you are in south Florida? (traffic, crowded, expensive, etc.) Any inside info would be greatly appreciated. I am also looking into Duke and East Carolina in NC.
