I heard bad things about ucf because it’s a big school and the teacher don’t care and it doesn’t have good job opportunities. even though Florida state is a much better overall school its engineering program is shared with FAMU a lower University and the city is boring.
Florida state is definitely the better option and one thing I don’t like about Ucf is that it is so bad sometimes it’s hard to get classes and pretty much all your classes will be huge…
Thanks
More opinions wyd help
For engineering, wouldn’t FAMU be a cheaper version of FSU?
Attending FAMU and taking the same engineering courses/program as the FSU students is a great deal. 
FSU/FAMU are building up the engineering program, but it’s still a few steps behind UCF and USF. UCF has programs not offered at FSU/FAMU (such as Aerospace Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Structural Engineering), and programs that are far stronger, like Industrial Engineering and Computer Engineering.
While UCF is a big school, FSU isn’t that much smaller (59K vs 40K).
A lot of cities are boring compared to Orlando. However, Tallahassee has some advantages, especially for political science majors and Law grads, but not so much for engineering.
Fsu students with the same program as famu sounds horrible though
What’s horrible? The engineering degree programs are ABET accredited, and FAMU is just an alternate and probably less expensive way to get the same education.
Why? There really isn’t a reason. The program is still an engineering program; no matter what college you attend, you’re going to have a rigorous program. You have to be a damn good student to be able to cut it in any engineering program.
What’s been suggested here is actually a pretty smart way of doing things: Get accepted to FAMU, and attend the College of Engineering. While FAMU has lower admission requirements than FSU, that could also mean that you could get a scholarship at FAMU with stats that wouldn’t give you a scholarship at FSU. You also may pay lower rates for tuition/fees, among other things.
It actually might be the smart way of getting into the COE and possibly paying less than everyone at FSU.
FSU doesn’t give a fuck about their engineering students.
Improving the FAMU & FSU Engineering relationship has been a priority of the current FSU president since he took office.
It looks like there is a new agreement between the schools:
“Deal would keep joint FSU, FAMU engineer college”

Hopefully, this will help bring the CoE into the same league as the rest of the school.
Well, except that Thrasher was the one that pushed forward the bill to separate the two.
I’m interested in seeing how this impacts a lot of planned construction that was being pushed forward. Plus, I will say that the split was going to cost a lot to split the two: I believe the FAMU side was going to simply get the CoE that is there now, with FSU building a new one on-campus. The whole split was probably going to cost a good $75-100 million, plus a few different lawsuits were looking like they would be filed because it would appear racially motivated or something, which would really slow down the process.
Bottom line - take all of the emotion & personal opinions of alumni or folks who’s kids went there and do an honest, objective evaluation. Go to the school with the better academic reputation and career prospects for your Major. In this case, it is FSU.
I’m not sure what to recommend here.
There’s a lot of politics involved with the FAMU-FSU engineering school. FSU has been longing for their own engineering school for many years, but FAMU keeps blocking any talk of separation because they feel that they cannot sustain an engineering school alone.
I know that there was a recent restructuring of the engineering school to fix some of the issues that FSU has been complaining about. Hopefully, this will give the school a boost.
UCF’s engineering school has a better reputation than UCF overall, and it is in a region where getting an internship may be easier. If you are 1000 percent certain that you will stick with engineering, and not waiver, it’s hard to not to recommend UCF.
On the other hand, you may want to consider the that engineering has a relatively high drop-out rate. If you drop-out of engineering, what do you think your “second choice” of a major might be, and where would you prefer to study?
