<p>Hi I'm trying to figure out where to go:</p>
<p>Choices</p>
<p>University Of Central Florida with Honors
Florida International University with Honors
University of Miami
Oxford College at Emory University</p>
<p>Any advice!?
Thanks</p>
<p>University of Miami.</p>
<p>is money a factor?</p>
<p>If you look at the financial aid information from the college board></p>
<p>you will see that the university of miami only meets 80% of your need. Unless you are most likely a recruited athlete, you will have a gap each year of atleast a few thousand $ which you will have to find some way of filling because the school does not met 100% of your demonstrated need.</p>
<p>The school distributes their aid package as a ration of 36% scholarships and grants and 64% loans.</p>
<p>just looking at these numbers mean once you add on the $ from the unmet (gapped) need, you will have so major debt at the end of 4 years. If you are looking to attend grad/professional school you want to try to have the least amount of undergrad debt because in grad/professional school most of your aid is coming in loans.</p>
<p>If you work immeadiately after graduating you salary would be used to pay off the massive debt not giving you much of a quality of life as a young adult.</p>
<p>Are there any benefits in staying in florida (free rides, etc)</p>
<p>if possible visit each school during their admitted students days; sit in on classes, spend the night, talk with other students then make a decision</p>
<p>Throw out Central Florida and Florida International right away. Even with honors these schools aren't so great.</p>
<p>The plus side to attending Emory's Oxford College is that after two years, you get to transfer to Emory's main university and attend a top-20 school. The drawback is that you have to spend the first two years in a community college-esque environment.</p>
<p>Either Oxford or Miami...</p>
<p>IMHO Oxford would be the way to go.</p>
<p>Having spent 4 years at Emory grad school, yet being familiar with Florida, and comparing locale, population and quality of education, I recommend Oxford.</p>
<p>Thanks guys for your support, but i'm still confused b/c i feel like if i go to Emory Oxford i'm not going to have much of a fun college experience.</p>
<p>does anyone know if it is in a fun area? Ive never been to where oxford is?</p>
<p>In regard to miami, I was waitlisted :( So i have to see if i will get lucky.</p>
<p>Anyways, I'm really thinking about UCF since I got into a program called Lead Scholars. It's like better than honors or something. </p>
<p>Still any advice.
Thanks</p>
<p>If you'd like more info on Oxford, try posting and looking around at Emory's individual forum.</p>
<p>EMORY!!!!</p>
<p>But that's just me.</p>
<p>Considering your comments and choices, I think the honors program at UCF is your best match. UCF is becoming a hot school in FL right now. Check out the US News article, "A+ Schools for B Students." UCF is recommended. The campus is beautiful, new, and comfortable. The kids are great and the culture doesn't revolve around football. FL just announced plans to build a med school there. Good luck with your decision and congrats on your acceptances.</p>
