Grants and Scholarships

UF and Graduate School?

with my academic record, i know i can get into an out of state private university (i have my eyes set on columbia). however, there is absolutely no way i can afford anything out of state, esp a private school, even with scholarships and grants. so i plan to attend an in-state university (University of Florida) simply because i know i have a free ride. im just worried.. is UF a good enough university to be able to get into a graduate program at a top college (like that of columbia or duke, etc)? does anyone know of any UF alumni who went to top schools after undergraduate studies? any insight would be really helpful : )

1. UF is a good school. I'm still at UF but I have many friends that have moved on to graduate school at other universities like Caltech, Stanford, John Hopkins, etc. You just have to apply yourself and be dedicated in the field you have chosen.
