<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I just got accepted in USF, UCF, and UF for spring 2009. I was thinking of attending USF since it is close to my home, and I prefer an urban surrounding. But what school has a better Computer Science program ? </p>
<p>I was thinking of attending USF for my bachlors and then UF for my masters. Let me know what you guys think. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Not sure if UCF is located in Orlando proper but it would be a better choice than USF. I'm from the Tampa area and I know how nice it is to have a lot to do, but I wasn't really impressed with how people that I know that went there turned out. UF would obviously be the best choice, and the town isn't half bad, but it's definitely not urban and I missed that a lot while I was there for undergrad.</p>
<p>UF will have the best computer science program.</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I looked into UF over the internet, and everywhere it says that it is like a public IVY league school. The curriculum is as hard as Harvard... and the average admission GPA is 4.0. </p>
<p>I transfered into that school with a 3.4.... Is the curriculum a lot harder then USF or UCF ? </p>
<p>thanks ! I really appreciate all the replies.</p>
<p>Designations like "public ivy" attempt to cash in on the connotations of the word "Ivy". UF was not very hard in my experience; I graduated summa cum laude (highest honors) in engineering while putting in 20-30 hours a week on average.</p>
<p>I'm not trying to say UF is bad - the quality of instruction was fine - but the curves were really easy due to the amount of jocks with no work ethic whose weekends started Thursday night and didn't end until Monday night.</p>
<p>Not that I've been to any of the schools named, but reputation-wise, in the field (I am in CS), UF is the best of those. The others are not even close.</p>
