Hello all! Bit of a background- I’m currently a high school senior making my final undergraduate college decision between the University of Florida and the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. I’ve been in a dual enrollment program for two years and have already been at the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities full-time for two semesters (so I already know my way around). Through this program, I’ve completed around 60 credits. I’ve lived in the Twin Cities for almost my entire life but am not a fan of the weather. I applied to UF in hopes of starting new in Fall 2016. Senior year has come and almost gone and now it’s time to make a decision about next year.
Since I’m an OOS student at UF, tuition would be close to $43,000. My question is: is UF worth the OOS tuition when I could attend UMN-TC for close to $26,000 a year? My biggest con for the University of Minnesota is that it isn’t new and fresh; I’ve already been attending this school for a year and was looking forward to a fresh start next fall. Another tough spot is my major. Since I’m almost a junior in terms of credits, I have to declare a major almost immediately after I start next fall. As of right now, I don’t have any idea of what I want to major in. I was thinking biology for a while, and then thought maybe psychology but I’m pretty creative and artistic so I’m not sure where to begin.
I would appreciate anyone’s input if they’ve got it. Thank you!
TL;DR: I’m a high-school senior deciding between UF and the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. I’m a MN resident so is UF worth OOS tuition? I’m accumulated close to 60 credits, have a lot of interests, but can not decide on a major.
