University of Florida would work well for you under those circumstances. You can get the practical side by working on your own GitHub projects--I know young people who have been there and done that.
- brudgers 13y agoGainesville isn't appealing for everyone. For some just as a city [the former "Hogtown"], for others perhaps because of the continued exposure to obnoxious sports rivalries typical in the Southeast. It can even come down to which fraction of one's graduating class is attending which school and other factors which often disappear once people actually get to university.
- brudgers 13y agoMy comment based on I also have strong personal reasons for not wanting to go to UF, from the OP, I lived and studied in Gainesville at two different phases of my life. I have longtime friends who still live there, more who graduated and moved away. I have high school friends who many years ago went and left in their teens because it wasn't the right environment for them. Now I live in a southern university town and meet young people whose college selection is strongly shaped by sports team affiliation. That's American high school and university culture whether or not anyone thinks it should be. At the OP's age I categorically rejected considering FSU for entirely non academic reasons - my high school class broke FSU or UF in part based on who we did not want to go to school with.
