University of Florida

For my college, I picked the University of Florida. I only picked it because, first, SMU was already taken and second, my dad grew up in Miami and we like to go to Watercolor (Rosemary Beach) so I've been there a lot. The University of Florida's motto is "Civium in moribus rei publicae salus" which means "The welfare of the state depends upon the morals of its citizens." I really like this motto as I agree with it. It basically states that the people are in charge of the community; with people doing good things, the community will become a good community. Also with the University of Florida being the oldest college in Florida, it has to upload a certain reputation, which is another reason why I think the motto fits really well with the university. The University is located in Gainesville, which is mostly known for its music and its scenery which is taken by the citizens so the motto stating "the morals of the citizens," I definitely agree with that in part of the University of Florida. Lastly, this motto was introduced by the first Dean of the College Arts and Sciences, James Nesbitt Anderson.
