Hey guys so recently I’ve been applying to colleges, and as you would expect I’ve gotten a couple of responses considering the time of the year we are currently in. Although my number one choice was FSU after getting rejected im currently looking more realistically and trying to figure out what college could possibly fit me best! I plan on majoring in International Relations/Affairs, or Political Science on a International track, and I’m just wondering what some of you may think would best fit me? Also, if you have any info on which school usually offers more financial aid please let me know. I do however plan on retaking my SAT one more time. Plus I got differed to UCF so maybe the new test could assist me in that but im not really looking into UCF that thoroughly, and currently I threw the few out of states i applied to out of the picture (Hofstra and St Johns). Please give me your opinions on what schools you guys prefer. (Party life, academics, prestige, and resources do play a big impact for my decision)
FIU is a good school, academically. International Studies is one of their specialties. It has traditionally been more of a commuter school. A large percentage of the students are Hispanic and living at home until you marry is not unusual. That said, the school is in Miami and the party opportunities are rampant. If the classic live-on campus experience is important, it may not be the best choice.
