<p>I have been accepted to both, but I am having a hard time deciding.</p>
<p>Don't base it on the school itself, but on the Computer Science program. Thank you.</p>
<p>All I can say is that I know UCF’s comp. sci. program is really good. But you won’t find anyone who can tell you about both since without attending the school you can’t really tell.</p>
<p>After a long thought process and a thorough comparisson on the two schools I pick UCF. I should have trusted my instinct in the first place. UCF is for me.</p>
<p>I’m sure you’re going to have a great experience at UCF. Go Knights!</p>
<p>FYI: The UF program is ranked 37th overall in the USA, whereas the UCF program is not ranked at all. Just something to think about.</p>
<p>Like I said before SSobick, the ratings tell me nothing. There is no valid information behind those numbers that will help me in anyway to make a decision.</p>
<p>Also, I like that UCF is in Orlando, because I will be able to receive internships and job opportunities in the Orlando area-- which would be rather difficult in Gainesville.
I appreciate the input though. The more information, the better.</p>
<p>Thanks mom2three!</p>
<p>If you want to work in Orlando it’s a good option. UF has the name recognition to provide employment throughout the United States. BTW: FSU has a more established brand-name in comparison to UCF. It’s going to take decades for people outside of Florida to think of UCF, USF, FIU, and FAU as more than anything than a Commuter School (fair or not, it just takes time for perceptions to change).</p>
<p>Congratulations on making your decision, Jess! 
Make sure to go apply for housing, Honors and LEAD Scholars soon so you can make the most out of your experience at UCF. Best of luck to you.</p>
