<p>Hi everyone! Okay, so I was recently admitted to the University of Florida's summer B program, but that means I have to make a $200 deposit for housing by March 6th or I'll lose my spot! The problem is, although UF is one of my strong options, I honestly have no idea where I want to go right now, and I would hate to lose that money (not to mention, there's ANOTHER $200 fee upon cancellation if I decide not to go there).</p>
<p>Basically I just want to hear some opinions! Right now my options are Furman University, Loyola University Maryland, UF, and UNF honors college. I'm still waiting to hear from Boston College in the spring, but I'm almost positive I won't be getting in (that was my reach school).</p>
<p>When I go to college I want to study to either be a teacher (most likely english), or something involving psychology (or psychiatry if I can handle the science courses; math and science are not my strong points). </p>
<p>The main problem for my not knowing where I would like to go yet is that I haven't heard what need based aid I will be getting. My EFC is only 480, so let's just say we're expecting a good amount. I've gotten small merit scholarships for UNF and Furman so far but those are just a drop in the bucket.</p>
<p>I'd appreciate if you could tell me which school you would advise overall and why, particularly if one of them would be best for my majors (but I mean they're pretty generic). </p>
<p>Since my two most realistic choices financially are UF and UNF, I'd also like to know if you think it will matter significantly later on if I choose UNF honors college over UF. University of Florida is obviously stronger academically, but there's also the idea that at UNF I'd be a, "big fish in a small pond," as my lit teacher said. </p>
<p>Please give me some opinions, experiences, anything you might know! I'm not going to base my decision on what any sole person says, but I just feel like I really need some advice. No one in my family has ever been to college, so they can't help. My guidance counselor and teachers aren't much help either because they don't want to bias my decision. Researching schools will only get me concrete facts, not opinions. I understand that all in all this will be my choice, but let's be honest: I'm 18 and don't know crap about the real world. So help me out!!</p>
<p>Sorry if I wrote too much hehe but please help, and thank you in advance:)</p>
