Thanks for your response! I have a good amount of those schools on my list.

I was wondering about other FL schools as I'm living there for the next few months, so I would have connection to area (currently thinking NOVA, FIU, FAU, Miami, USF)

Celtics definitely gave me a good deal to stick around in MA though ;)
