Gainesville and DeLand (Stetson) are very small towns. Gainesville is basically a college town. If you want a law school in Florida where you can stay in the city during the summer and do your internships there, FSU and UM are probably best. I think most of the UF or Stetson law students travel to Orlando or South Florida for summer internships (if they stay in the state). Just keep in mind with both Stetson and Miami that they are private schools so get ready to shell out a lot of money.

UM does have a good law school, it's harder to get into than FSU.
We should clarify here though to prevent confusion: Stetson's law school is located in Gulfport, which is in St. Pete, which is near Tampa. So Stetson law students don't have to travel to Orlando for internships - they can stay in Tampa. Stetson University is in DeLand, so that's where the other graduate school programs are located.
