UF is awesome! No I didn't apply there, but I'm originally from Florida and I have a lot of friends at FSU and UF grad programs now, so I was just curious. I'm not a big fan of FL in general (growing up there might have something to do with it...) but I've always had a soft spot for Gainesville. There's a lot to do there and a surprisingly thriving music scene and art culture. I hope you get in! Let me know if you do and if you need advice, I can always ask my friends living there now about where to go out/live/etc
