Looking for great colleges in Florida. Any suggestions on the top-ranked ones? I’m especially interested in both public and private options.
 
Here are some of the best colleges in Florida:

  • University of Florida (UF) – Top public university, strong in many subjects
  • Florida State University (FSU) – Known for business, arts, and sciences
  • University of Miami – Private, strong in health, law, and business
  • University of Central Florida (UCF) – One of the largest, great for tech and engineering
  • Florida International University (FIU) – Great for international students and business
 
Here are Florida’s top colleges in 2025—based on U.S. News, Niche, and other rankings:
  • University of Florida (Gainesville): #7 among public universities nationally
  • Florida State University (Tallahassee): #23 among public; #10 in Niche’s top public universities
  • University of South Florida (Tampa): rose rapidly to #45 public, #91 overall; best value and #1 in social mobility in Florida
  • Florida International University (Miami): broke into top‑50 public (#46) and top‑100 overall
