<p>Help! I got an email last night from FSU that I have to make a decision by the 19th to accept their offer or not. I was accepted to the summer term, and I didn't get to visit the campus, but it's too late now..I wanted to talk to my guidance counselor or my BRACE advisor but neither were at school -_-
I kinda visited UCF in a way...I went to my cousin's graduation and I thought it was really pretty, the parts I saw. And a lot of my friends say that they are going there so I think it would probably be easier for me to network and get help. Plus I read on other forums and stuff that it's a bigger city so there's more to do and more jobs around (I'll definitely need one.)</p>
<p>On the other hand, those same forums said it's a redneck school? A friend of mine warned me that its a little racist..does anyone know? a couple people said FSU gives a better education..but I just don't know.</p>
<p>It doesn't help that I don't even know what I want to major in or study. I know I want some career in medicine but I don't know what. Not planning on anything involving med school...rather not start a new job in debt. I know for sure as a second, part-time job, I want to do massage therapy, if that helps.</p>
<p>I'll greatly appreciate your response!</p>
<p>Is that the program where you only take classes in the summer and the fall, or a pre-Fall summer session where you get to know the campus and your classmates before everyone else? The second type of summer session is actually cool, it gives you a headstart compared to others. FSU has better funding than UCF. UCF is huge and more commuter. But UCF is strong in the sciences -not stronger than FSU but strong so it’s not a bad choice.
It’s really a matter of preference.
However you shouldn’t worry about having nothing to do on the FSU campus… :D</p>
<p>Is there any way you can go and visit Tallahassee this weekend? Perhaps you can call the admission representative who signed your letter of admission and ask if you can have a couple more days because you’d like to visit the school and 1 week isn’t enough turn around time to arrange that, and when is the next overnight planned? :)</p>
<p>I think it’s the second. They said that I could start in the summer and continue in fall as a continuing student.</p>
<p>What do you mean by better funding? More scholarships?</p>
<p>As simple as that seems, I never thought to do that, haha. I’m going to reply to the email right now.</p>
<p>I know that FSU has a great medical program. Also I have many friends at FSU and I’ve visited before; it’s not a redneck school and it didn’t seem racist when I stayed for a few days. UCF has a good science program (like stated above) so it’s not a bad choice either. UCF does have more to do since it’s in Orlando but FSU is the same. FSU has a lot of activities too so I so I doubt you’ll be bored. It really just depends on which school “speaks” to you (but since you haven’t visited go to their website and take an online tour).</p>
<p>You can’t go wrong with either choice. ;)</p>
<p>UCF is a very diverse campus, I wouldn’t describe it as a redneck school. </p>
<p>You can take my word, as someone that “dislikes” FSU, it does have a pretty campus. ;)</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
