<p>For Classical Studies, which University has a stronger department? </p>
<p>I tried to find information, they both seem to have a great program; but when it comes to comparing the two, it's really perplexing. </p>
<p>What do you guys think? </p>
<p>Which University should be my first option?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Historically, Florida State is more liberal arts oriented than UF, which is an agricultural university.</p>
<p>Latin or animal husbandry? Hmmm.</p>
<p>Honestly, either one is probably fine. As p2n stated, UF traditionally leans toward applied sciences, such as engineering and agriculture, but I’m sure they have a solid program. </p>
<p>I think I would base my decision on what kind of environment I wanted to study in (Gainesville vs Tally). Definitely visit both schools and talk with people in the program.</p>
<p>Hogtown would be better for learning Pig Latin.</p>
<p>LOL. Good one. Pig Latin… :)</p>
<p>I have visited both college campuses and both are really nice; I actually already lived in Tallahassee for a year so I know my way around. </p>
<p>I already took Latin at my current community college so I am not worried about “learning” the language. I would just continue to take courses that allow me to use Latin. </p>
<p>I am also very interested in studying abroad and I think UF might have the better program for that because they do semesters rather than full years which the latter would be too lofty in finances for me. </p>
<p>Thanks for the information guys, I will apply to both Universities and my decision could come down to which school offers me the best package deal - as far as scholarships are concerned.</p>
<p>Honestly, I think Florida State has the far better overseas study programs than UF. FSU has had them for decades. </p>
<p>They are the best in Florida: [International</a> Programs | Home](<a href=“http://international.fsu.edu/]International”>http://international.fsu.edu/)</p>
<p>FSU’s study abroad programs are considered among the best in the nation. They offer many one-semester sessions. My son just finished the spring semester in London at the university’s own study center and had the time of his life, both intellectually and socially.</p>
<p>Wow, thank you for linking me to the study abroad program. I am busy atm but I will read thoroughly when I get the chance. </p>
<p>This is a potential “game changer” for me. I am genuinely appreciative for these great posts.</p>
