<p>Hi!, I'm a graduating class of 2012 from a certain high school in Florida. I was accepted to FSU in their spring term. So right now I have until January before I start my college. As the title suggested, I'm in a dilemma. I'm becoming more and more uncertain about my college choice, which is FSU. I'm not saying that it's a bad school or anything but I've never visited the school in person so I don't really know if it's the right school for me. Plus, the initial reason that I choose (well, made to) go to FSU is because it's the only university in Florida besides UF that offers interior design course. Now that I changed my mind about my major to business, there isn't really anything that attracts me to that school anymore. </p>
<p>So I've been looking around other universities that have good review, and I came across Boston University. And after much reading on reviews and details of this school, I really came to like this school, and very much love to attend if possible. </p>
<p>they have small class ratio and class size, which would make it easier for me ask for help from my professors and I could learn better with less people. FSU mostly have large class sizes. BU also located in Boston, though I haven't been there yet but the impression of it is better than Tallahassee, which is where FSU is located. And the fact that FSU is branded as a "Party School" and the fact that Tallahassee revolve around universities kind of worries me. I know that it's just their reputation, but I've also heard that you can find parties going on everywhere around campus or even in town. everybody that I talked to says that FSU is a party school, even my teachers, so there is some truth in it. This is something that i could not stop myself from worrying. I'm an introverted type of person so I want to stay away from those parties. Plus I learn from my experience in high school that I could be influence by people people I hang out with. I did good in all of my AP classes and was motivated to try even harder because students in those classes really take their study really seriously. </p>
<p>Soooo....heres the problems
I'm not certain if I would be admitted to their school for Fall. So my only choice is to apply for early decision so I would know if I get accepted by December. That means, if I didn't get accepted, I could still go to FSU, since the semester starts in January. and even if I get accepted I have to wait until August to start college, which means that I would be idling around and waste almost half a year without any real purposes. (This is something that my parents would not be happy about.)</p>
<p>and heres the question:
- should I try and apply for BU?
- if I do, would it be worth the wait to go the college that I like? or go to FSU that my mother preferred and it would not waste anymore time than I already have?
-another problem if I decided to go to FSU is that their a lot of their schools are limited access, which means that only a certain amount of students are allow to enter their upper division. they have a test in every spring to select people for their upper division. Aside from the test, they also have what you called a milestone, where you need to complete certain classes to proceed to the upper division. Since I'm starting in Spring, I'm totally confuse of where I'm standing in the midst of this test and this milestone.
So do any of you guys have any ideas about this situations? the admission person from FSU is needs to be fired, seriously. they're completely useless, and just giving medicore answers with attitude.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time and opinion!
and I apologize for this mega long post. I figure the more information, the better lol.</p>
