<p>hey, im a junior living in new york and i was looking to move down to florida for college. the schools i’ve looked into are UM, UF, USF, FSU, and UT. its so confusing because these schools are similar and im just trying to find my best fit. please help me narrow down my search. what im looking for is the following:</p>
<p>good nursing program thatll get me a well paying job/career</p>
<p>since im from the city one thats more diverse w/ minorites since i dont want them all to be valley girl type hipsters, or stereotypical beach boys/girls.</p>
<p>one close to an urban type city</p>
<p>social and sometime party environment. </p>
<p>one thats too large or overpopulated.</p>
<p>if possible one that provides good financial aid/scholarship</p>
<p>thank you so much! you would be helping me sooooo much i cant explain.</p>
<p>I’m a senior and going to FSU College of Nursing in August. I don’t know much about USF and UCF (the only other Florida college I looked into was UF) but I can tell you about FSU’s nursing a little bit.
A few years ago they opened a direct freshmen admission opportunity. Typically, you take all your core classes and then apply to your university’s nursing school at the end of your sophomore year. Admission is COMPETITIVE. interviews, essays etc etc. Its pretty competitive anywhere. However, if you are admitted as a freshmen (and all you have to do for FSU is indicate nursing as your chosen major to be considered) you are automatically in the program and don’t have to worry about applying again. All you have to do is keep your gpa at at least a 3.0, get a C or higher in each class, and be taking the right classes. To me, this is a wonderful opportunity if you start looking into FSU. If not, definitely see if other colleges have this opportunity. Like I said I can’t say much about the other Florida universities but I also know of FSU’s nursing living learning community (UF might have one too).</p>
