U. Miami, Fl. State U., and U. of South Florida - anyone who has been to these schools?
These are my three main choices for universities. I don’t live in Florida, but love the state. What are the campuses like? Are you enjoying your experiences at this school?
Any other feedback would be great.
I’m planning to study either psychology or psychiatry. If you are studying either of these please elaborate and classes: difficulty, subject matter, jobs wanted, etc.

Of the three, UM has the better academic reputation, but Florida State is not far behind. But of course, UM is private (and an expensive private at that, "Club UM").
Of the campuses UM is again the nicest. FSU is in Tallahassee which offers little beyond the usual college town (taking into account your major).
USF will probably feel like a commuter campus, it’s by and large mostly Tampa Bay residents and a number of satellite campuses. I don’t know about your major specifically, but I have known people to attend all three, and USF would definitely offer the lightest course-work. Honestly, I would pick UCF or FIU before USF - based on campus, location, and academics.

The best thing to do is research the psychology or psychiatry programs at these universities. Contact the departments directly and they will be able to answer your questions. Sometimes they will even put you in contact with students or alumni. Keep in mind also that Florida is very different in Tallahassee than Miami. Tallahassee is much like Southern Georgia…not what you see on TV as Florida. All the schools have great programs for some things, but are lacking in others. If you are interested in psychology/psychiatry, I would suggest University of Florida in Gainesville. Good luck in your decision!

I went to Florida State University and have visited both USF and UM.
I happen to love FSU.Tallahassee is a small town but the school is such a wonderful place that it makes up for the location. I took a few classes in the Psych department and must say that they were very good. The students and faculty are friendly, the campus is gorgeous, the classes are good, the dorms are nice, the athletics are great, the nightlife is excellent… overall I think it is the best choice of all three. A really great college experience.
I highly recommend that you visit the campuses if you can… I am pretty confident that you will love FSU but everyone is different and actually visiting each of the campuses will give you a better "taste" so you can make the right decision.
