Students that picked FSU over UF?

Is there anybody here that got into both UF and FSU and ended up choosing to attend FSU? What helped you to make your decision? Academics? Campus? I’m finding it very difficult to find reasons for me to attend FSU over UF in the event that I am offered admission to both.

Post your question in the FSU forum, you’ll get a lot more responses.

OOS students have a tendency to choose FSU over UF, since they likely are being offered an OOS tuition waiver (savings of $20K+ a year in tuition, in some cases).

FSU legacies have a tendency to choose FSU (as UF legacies tend to choose UF). If you grew up a Seminole, you may not even bother to apply to UF (this was the case with a few of my daughter’s HS friends).

Your major could play a strong role in which college you choose. Engineering students (that have a choice between UF and FSU) would tend to choose UF, while some of the arts majors tend to pick FSU.

Finally, some folks feel FSU is a better “fit”. They simply like the campus and/or “vibe” they pick up when on a tour.

Good Luck!

Would you rather be in Honors - some choose FSU honors over UF.
