<p>I can't tell much from college's websites so I'd like to hear from actual students...</p>
<p>I wish to major in International Relations or Political Science- which FL school would be best for me?</p>
<p>Also, I really would like to be in an exciting city, as opposed to someplace like Pensacola.</p>
<p>I've heard UF is a science school - political science maybe??</p>
<p>I can’t really speak for the other schools, because I don’t know much about them, but I’m a political science major at UF and I love it.</p>
<p>I don’t know what qualifies as an “exciting city,” but I love Gainesville. It’s not a huge city, there aren’t skyscrapers and big buildings and things like that, but basically everything in the town caters to college students - there’s never a shortage of things to do. There’s a ton of nightlife, loads of cute cafes/shops/places to hang out, and a vibrant ‘downtown’ area to explore, all very close to campus. </p>
<p>And as far as PolySci/IR goes, it’s a pretty good school. Not a top program, but I don’t think any schools in Florida are known for theirs. Personally, I have loved every PolySci class I’ve taken. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and approachable, and there are a ton of courses to choose from. Although there is no IR major - which is what I wanted to major in - there’s a good selection of IR classes to choose from, and an IR Certificate is available if you meet a certain criteria.</p>
<p>gainesville is not an exciting city hahaha</p>
<p>[Florida</a> State](<a href=“http://www.fsu.edu/]Florida”>http://www.fsu.edu/) has the [highest</a> rated](<a href=“Rankings | Florida State University”>Rankings | Florida State University) [political</a> science program](<a href=“http://polisci.fsu.edu/]political”>http://polisci.fsu.edu/) in Florida. FSU is located in [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallahassee,_Florida]Tallahassee[/url”>Tallahassee, Florida - Wikipedia]Tallahassee[/url</a>], the political center of Florida.</p>
<p>^I second that. When I was considering FSU Honors, I met with a polisci professor. He was simply brilliant and accessible. I believe FSU Political Science program is ranked around 25 in USNWR while UF is in either the 30s or 40s.</p>
<p>fsu or possible florida international university … depending on your grades… university of miami</p>
<p>There actually is a Florida school that is nationally renowned for political science, FSU. No other school in Florida could even compare. Plus, Tallahassee is MUCH more exciting than Gainesville. Even UF students would admit to that.</p>
