What to do and see in Florida, United States: The Best Universities & Schools

July 11, 2021 Merry Kessler

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

San Carlos Institute

Dedicated to help preserve the language, cultural values and democratic ideals of the Cuban people.

A Cuban-American icon, The San Carlos Institute located at 516 Duval Street in the heart of Key West is MUST SEE and is awesome for history! Now a FREE museum (they accept donations and I always donate), it’s a great find and arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in Key West. Cuba has a lot of tied history with the USA, especially in Key West. Here you will see artifacts, art, documents, and other historical Cuban and Cuban American pieces. Devote about 30 mins to an hour and you won’t regret it.

Beautiful campus, very organized tour, excellent information shared about the university. We scheduled an advising appointment, toured, and then explored the dining hall for lunch. Great experience for our rising senior son.

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University

Reviewed By minniemae - Florida, United States

This school is for serious aviators & aerospace engineering majors. We visited a dozen schools all along the east coast including the ivies and our child ultimately settled here. The campus is beautiful, safe, clean, with state-of-the-art equipment and modern facilities. Their labs are all high tech with the latest & the greatest aviation has to offer (including a new wind tunnel lab). The school has almost a hundred planes; they share Daytona Beach International airport next door where the weather is conducive to flying year round. Just like any private school, it is pricey. The staff/ administration are all helpful. Everyone we met during parent weekend were professional, nice, & welcoming. We are glad that our child is in a clean, bright, spacious, brand new dorm building but the other dorms looks like a jail cell/bunker. Sadly, the cafeteria food sucks both in taste and quality (the meal plan is expensive) - the school desperately needs a new food supplier.

Cool old hotel and museum on the bank of the Hillsborough River across from downtown. Used by officers during the Spanish American War. Lots of neat history here.
