What are the cons to attending a large university? UF? ?

Larger universities focus a lot on research. Most professors have their main job to research and their 2nd is to teach. This is a big reason why it is impersonal and you end up with 4 tests for the entire semester rather than homework...they are too busy to grade homework. This isn't true at all universities but is at many. Also, large cles tend to make it harder to learn because you do not have as much opportunity to ask questions to clarify confusing information, and you do not have the chance to have cl discussion to hear what other students question that you may not have thought about. Once you get into your 2nd-3rd year however, you may be in cles that are smaller because they are narrower in subject. These cles will be great because you have interactivity with your professor and clmates and will most likely benefit a lot more.
