Oh damn, those are great choices. Orlando is probably the best on the list though. Best choice since Orlando usually has discount flights to NYC (at least in the off-season), so you can save your money for more shopping at that store on the corner of 5th Ave. and E. 57th Street. 
Just PM me before you arrive. I love that place. I just wish I had more money.
Yes, Orlando (UCF) is where my partner is leaning towards. She applied to UCF as a super back up, but after she was accepted we did some reading and apparently they have the 13th best Physics PhD program.
Edit - If I wanted to shop, I'd go to PA. No sales tax on clothing 
Well, if you ever think about shopping for a wedding ring, you might want to try NYC. (*hint, hint) ('cuz it's legal here, unlike FL, OK, or HI.) And I can take you to my secret spot in the diamond district, where I bought my wife's wedding ring.
And wow, Ph.D. in physics. I guess you like 'em brainy. I like 'em busty, myself. heh. Who am I kidding? I married the smartest girl I could find to keep my dumbass out of trouble. (But I do like bewbs, I have to confess.)
As for my favorite store on E. 57th Street, it rhymes with "Spiffany".
EDIT: I think we totally thread-jacked this poor nub OP.
