<p>I have been accepted to both University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign and University of Miami, Florida. I would start Miami in January due to housing problems and I would start Illinois in the fall. I like both colleges, but I am not sure which one I like better. I am concerned though, about starting at Miami a semester late. I am looking for a school with a good student life and one that will provide me with the best academic/internship opportunities!</p>
<p>You should consider your areas of interests, what type of “internship” opportunities you are looking for, what type of “student life” you are looking for. </p>
<p>UIUC is a superior academic school for most disciplines. However, if it is in an isolated college town. U of Miami is in Miami - so has more off campus opportunities. </p>
<p>A pro/con list might help you make up your mind.</p>
