The state's flagship public university ranked No. 3 of the top 10 most-searched universities on AOL, according to the company's annual list of AOL Search use. Ahead of UF were the University of Michigan and Boston College.
And apparently students who research UF like what they find. UF, the largest state university in Florida and among the nation's biggest with 51,000-plus students, got some 26,000 applications for just 6,600 fall 2008 freshman slots.
