Hey guys ! I just got accepted to both the University of San Francisco and the University of Miami and it’s giving me a huge headache. I’m a french student living in California, I studied 2 and a half years at a community college in Santa Monica and I decided to apply as a transfer student ( which makes me an international transfer student ) for the Spring semester to USFCA and UM. Also, I’m a computer science student which makes USFCA very attractive to me. I know that the University of Miami is the archetype of a good american school, and the french little boy inside of me is screaming that it is the university I’ve always dreamed of because it represents a lot of things I imagined as a kid about studying in the US. It is more selective than USFCA and Miami is ( I think ) less expensive than San Francisco to live in. But on the other hand, the University of San Francisco is beautifully located, in one of the most important places to study Computer Science in and the ambiance there seems calmer which would suit me as I’m a very introverted student. The Urban vs Suburban aspect is also very important to me as USFCA is located at the heart of San Francisco. If any of you can post your opinions and thoughts about your experiences or what you think I should do, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
I think that USF location, network, internship and job possibilities in your field beats UM hands down. There are national parks a short distance away from USF, the beach, Lands End, Sutro, the parks along the Great Highway are a bus ride away from USF.
They differ on a lot of points and they all seem very interesting which is why the choice is difficult 
but on a long term vision I think the University of San Francisco is the best choice for me. I have 24 hours left to reserve my place at USFCA so I have to decide quickly.
What would you choose ?
University of Miami would be my choice
I’d go with UM too, if money were the same. It’s a national university with a great reputation and a football team. 
I feel like the University of Miami would be a short term choice while San Francisco would be more of a long term choice.
