<p>can anyone tell me which has better programs in Economics / Political Science?</p>
<p>I’d go to Penn State. I love the Big Ten Conference.</p>
<p>so no one has info on the different programs?</p>
<p>UF has a terrible S/F ratio and has had recent massive budget cuts. The fact that smart kids go there because they can’t afford a better school proves very little. </p>

Every college right now has budget issues.</p>
<p>If you are in-state, there is no better deal than UF. </p>
<p>It only has about $4000 tuition, and most people qualify for 100% bright futures( the in-state scholarship program where a 1270 gives you 100% tuition coverage), so you are only paying for books, dorms, and cost of living. </p>
<p>Combine that with great school spirit, an amazing football team, and fantastic weather, and the choice is rather easy. </p>
<p>BTW: I am in Florida right now and am wearing shorts and a t-shirt enjoying the 77* weather (in December).</p>
<p>How is the weather up there in Pennsylvania?</p>
<p>Is Penn St having any budget cuts?</p>
<p>What is Penn St’s S/F ratio?</p>
<p>actually PennState only gets a small percent of its funding from the state, so it hasn’t been <em>that bad</em> yet. Of course Penn States tuition is a lot pricier than many other public schools.</p>
