<p>Hi, I am a Senior in VA and I got accepted into UCF and Penn State(Main Campus). Now this may seem like a really weird combination but I am dead split between the two. I plan on going to one of these schools for an Information Technology degree but I have no idea which one will get me further or if it doesn't even matter. The problem is I really love the Orlando area but I feel like Penn State would give me the better education. Can someone give me information to better my decision?
If you can, thank you very very much</p>
<p>I don’t know much about UCF, but Penn State certainly has a much better academic reputation. If sports are your thing, PSU football is hard to top. I’ve been to a few of their games, and the white outs are unbelievable.</p>
<p>I got into UCF, too! 
lol</p>
<p>Well if you really want to go to UCF you should look into one of the STEM programs, COMPASS and EXCEL, as they’re are the only math/science/technology focused programs at the university and the school is really trying to push them. As far as PSU goes, I don’t know much about their specific tech programs, but you’re right to think that they have a stronger reputation, and taking this into consideration it probably has tantamount technology programs to UCF, if not better.</p>
<p>Hope this helped some. :)</p>
<p>WE ARE</p>
<p>“PENN STATE”</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m biased :p</p>
<p>Penn state you will have a much better chance of getting the job you want in life if you attend penn</p>
<p>If the money is even close Penn State is much better.</p>
<p>Didn’t you get in any of your state school like VTech? If you have in state choice neither are worth additional $30 K per year.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for the input. I actually just paid my down payments for Penn State next year so that’s where I’ll be going! </p>
