Top Florida Colleges

Florida has some excellent colleges and universities.  This list of 12 of the top Florida colleges includes large universities, small colleges, and both public and private institutions. The 12 top colleges listed below vary so much in size and type of school that I have simply listed them alphabetically rather than force them into any sort of artificial ranking.
