I need help deciding between UF and the University of Tampa. Help!!! PLEASE!!

<p>Pros of UF: School spirit because of football, good alumni base (to help get jobs/internships), cheaper, more kids (not a fishbowl), not a suitcase school, #49 national public university, good renown within FL and the South in general, only college my bf of 2 years and I both got into together, good business school, good study abroad, teach me to fight for what I want
Cons of UF: Not in the honors college, missed deadline for Fall housing and am now on a wait list (I got summer housing though), farther from home, less likely to get a car, farther from big businesses, no specific international business major (what I want to major in), spread out campus (I get lost easily), I don't want to be just a number, harder to get help, don't offer as much financial aid to study abroad, harder to get a job
Pros of Utampa: Closer to home, in a business community, more jobs available off campus, I have housing, I'm in the Honors program, good study abroad, international business major, smaller campus, less people (good and bad), all classes taught by a professor (easier to get help), more likely to get a car
Cons: More expensive (even with scholarship), get a bad vibe from the people (I've heard it's a very snobby school), lower retention rate than UF by a good amount, I'm worried that even though I like the class size it'll be a fishbowl, not a prestigious school, smaller alumni base</p>

<p>Please help!! I need a decision in less than a month!!! I still have no idea where to go!! I need thoughts and opinions! THank you!</p>

<p>Did you get housing finally? Is there any way you can get into a living-learning community?
I agree that for a freshman, not living on campus is a problem. WOuld you be able to find a student residence near campus?
It sounds like UTampa interests you more. You said it’s more expensive: is it still within budget? WOuld you have to take on loans? How good is the honors program - would you be taking 3/5th of your classes in Honors your first year or just one class per semester? Do you get Honors dorm? What other perks? </p>
