Can anyone give me a good run down of these two... I've interviewed at both and I'm just torn because I liked each program a great deal. Not sure which to rank higher.
What would y'all pick and why?

I know nothing about UF, but UTSW is a great place to be. I'm currently an intern there. The neurology faculty are genuine and warm. The residents get along well with each other. The biggest problem seems to be keeping Internal Medicine from poaching the interns. This is the sort of decision that really would be hard to help you with. All I can say is no one at UTSW seems to regret their decision to come here.
P.S. As for not showing off the north campus on interview days, I think it's better they don't. It would be disengenuous to show off the nicest area of campus to applicants since as residents they would never, ever work there. It's mostly basic science labs and a few clinics. As the new "East Campus" expands I suspect some of the resident clinics will spread to there and that area will be shown off. That's several years down the road, however.
From what I understand the chair of the Neurology department at UTSW is stepping down to spend more time in the lab, but will remain at UTSW. I was not aware of anyone else leaving the program and I have no idea what is going on with Psychiatry. Hope that helps.
