College Search & Selection

I am a senior choosing between WFU and UF. I am going the pre- med route and am having a difficult time making the decision…

I love both schools but UF tuition and housing would be free for me.

I don’t know whether it is better to go to the better name brand school (Wake) but then be in student debt for undergrad and then be in more debt for med school, or just go to UF.

Could someone give me advice on which is
-the better school for pre-med
-social life at both schools (don’t know much about social life at wake, but I know UF is very fun)
-—-> I like to party too lol and I’m not sure if wake is fun in that regard.
-opportunities/special guidance/ enriched curriculum at UF for pre med?
-general experience overall for people who have done pre med at UF or Wake

It would mean the world if you guys help me out!!!

Ok not sure how much time pre med will have to party but you should have no issue at either school there. If med school is in your future stay debt free and go to UF. Med school is not cheap so go into it debt free.

How much debt are you talking about? Two strong schools. Very different environments. S is at Wake and has friends in the premed track. Quite rigorous but they still have fun.

Very intimate small school with a tight community and a big school feel (ACC sports) vs. very big school. Completely different.

Debt is a big deal, especially for premed folks. It’s one thing if your folks can just pay for it… Another if yo have to take out a bunch of debt.
