Florida has some excellent colleges and universities as well as a relatively affordable public university system. This list of the top Florida colleges includes large universities, small colleges, and both public and private institutions. The 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. Comparing a college like New College of Florida with fewer than 1,000 students to UCF with over 60,000 within a numerical ranking would be dubious at best.
