Applying to College

<p>My previous post is here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-florida/1460122-university-florida-appeal-help.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-florida/1460122-university-florida-appeal-help.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>So, since I am deciding to transfer to UF one way or the other...should I go to Santa Fe and do this, or UCF? Money isn't the issue, UCF is practically paid for by my scholarships and pre-paid. I have never even considered going to a Community College after doing 4 years of IB, but seeing the number of transfers from Santa Fe to UF...it provides me with a LOT of comfort. Of course I know I need to be a good student and work hard wherever I go in order to achieve admission to UF. </p>

<p>But my fear with Santa Fe is (to be honest) my social life. Going to a university provides campus life and more opportunities (or so I feel) to meet people. At Santa Fe, I'd be living off campus and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Am I being crazy or close-minded about the reality of going somewhere like Santa Fe? I have a job that I'd be transferring to so I'm sure I could meet people there...I really just don't wanna be lonely and friendless in Gainesville when my chances could be about the same (to get into UF) from UCF. Where's my best option?</p>

<p>Some questions to ask:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Does UCF have your desired major, and would you be satisfied completing your bachelor’s degree there if you are not able to transfer to UF?</p></li>
<li><p>Does Santa Fe offer the necessary lower division courses to prepare you for your major at UF and other Florida public universities?</p></li>
<li><p>Are you advanced enough to want to take upper division courses in your freshman or sophomore years? If so, you may run out of courses at a community college.</p></li>
<li><p>If UCF is “practically paid for”, does this mean that it is cheaper than going to Santa Fe?</p></li>
</ol>
