College Search & Selection

<p>I just got back from a weekend of college visits. I visited FSU, UF, and just got back from Rollins. I was wondering if anybody could give me their opinion on which college you think is the best! </p>

<p>Where I have applied:
Alabama (got in, but I don't think I want to go out of state)
FAU (got in)
Rollins
UF
FSU
UCF
Thinking about applying to USF as well</p>

<p>I have been a Gator my whole life, but as some people may know it is way harder to get into now (UF will always be number 1 though). I went to FSU for the first time this weekend and fell in love with the campus, but it felt a little awkward being there (I know that's silly). Rollins was a whole different story. It is very small and very different, because it is a small liberal arts school. I can't decide how I feel about it yet and I was hoping people could help. What I really liked about Rollins was the class size (average 17). But, is there any social life there? I also would like to be involved in Greek life and I'm not sure that would be the best place. </p>

<p>I have yet to visit UCF, I drove through the campus of FAU but that's about it, and I have never seen USF. So basically I am just asking for people's opinions on these schools on my list.
Thanks for the help!! :)</p>

<p>You should definitely look at USF. Both of my brothers went there and enjoyed it. The class sizes usually aren’t THAT huge and they definitely have a strong greek life. FSU has an amazing greek life as well. If small class size is what you’re looking for, I wouldn’t really give UCF another thought. It is a huge school (second largest in the country).</p>

<p>Go Gators! What do you want to major in?
Rollins is 41K tuition if that makes a difference. Big difference for the pocket book.
UCF is said to be bit of a commuter campus.
FSU (well as a gator, I may be biased…). My S spent some time there and while he said the actual campus is beautiful the surrounding area was sketchy.
USF has a very pretty campus. Not sure about academic reputation but is growing leaps and bounds. You should visit. Know some students going there presently and they really like it.</p>
