I got accepted to both UF and UM and wanted to major in business and eventually move to NYC. Money is a factor when it comes to applying for colleges since UM is prob around 40 a year wheras UF is 15 after bright futures is taken out. (100%) Both are great schools but my parents are pressuring me to pick (and to pick UM). Everyone that I think is intelligent from my school is going to UF. Even the valedictorian got accepted to UM but is going to UF.
So what Im asking is…
Where should I go?
UF because its 1. Cheaper 2. still a great school 3. in a college town
OR
UM because 1. Its closer to home 2. a great school 3. in a major city
what’s UF and what’s UM???
University of Florida and University of Miami ( coral gables)
I’m kind of in your situation now. If I were you I would choose UF. sometimes it’s not so good to be
close to home after all this is your time to experience and from what I’ve heard, UF is amazingly fun and I know for sure it’s a better school.UF!!!
UF is generally considered a better school than UM.
I’m in your shoes too, and I’d go with whichever college gives you more money, but I know that UM is VERY stingy with financial aid unless they recently awarded you one of their full-ride scholarships. Plus, you want to go live in NYC…you need to save every penny you can find starting now XD.
