1. From what ive heard UF has a good law program, so Gainesville would be nice, but I live in Orlando and its a nice place but I don't think UCF is renowned for law.
2. Seminole county which is just outside of Orlando has good neighborhoods, good schools and close to everything.
3. In St Petersburg, Stetson Law School, top in Florida. Beautiful , safe campus, nice area, close to beaches, Tampa, all you can want for. .Live in area, GREAT!!!!
4. I have lived in both Tallahassee and Gainesville. I grew up in Gainesville. If you are looking at quality of neighborhoods, I think you will find Tallahassee the better choice. When it comes to locals, they are about equal, but unfortunately Gainesville fancies herself as the Madison Wisconsin of the South, last bastion of hard line liberalism. Consequently, there are LOTS of vagrants and homeless bums wandering around many parts of Gainesville. The difference in Tallahassee is that since state offices are there, security is a much higher priority, and Tallahassee across the board is a much more conservative city. The downside of Tally is that being at the beginning of the panhandle, Tallahassee is not an easy trip to Orlando and points south.....But, I think law school and being in the state capital would be a good career move. Good luck, and go 'noles.
5. ORLANDO!!!! It's like the best place ever!! It's close to everything and there's a lot of funn stuff to do.
