Strange...I could have sworn that UF was in Hog...errr...Gainesville.
I wonder if they moved in the middle of the night, whilst I was asleep?


No, there are just several different "Universities of Florida".

Well, you could pick interior design and applied math or physics. Then
jump to grad school and pick up a meteorlogy degree if you
choose. Meteorology has lots of math and lots of physics, in addition
to weather and climate. The better your background in both, the easier
it will be once you do hit college.


Would that take more than four years?
