<p>Hey, so I've been accepted to both USF & FSU for a while now and haven't quite made my decision to which university I should attend this fall. I really want to go to FSU because it seems like it would be more fun, but I rather go to a college that would benefit me for my future instead. I've never visited either campuses, but I've seen pictures and videos on them and FSU campus is beautiful, USF on the other hand I'm not so sure of. Many of my close friends are going to attend USF and not FSU. My older sister is about to graduate next year at usf so my parents are pushing me to attend there. The biggest factor pushing me to go to USF is that it's known for their medical program, and its in Tampa so there are plenty of hospitals to get experience and other things, while in FSU it's more of a liberal arts school (I just read this). Would the classes at USF be easier than the classes at fsu? I know that in med school the only thing that matters are your gpa & mcat score. Basically, all I really want to know is why should I pick usf instead of fsu? Sorry for all this rambling, I just woke up lol.Oh, and I got like the 9k scholarship from usf, and nothing from fsu. How is life at usf anyways? It's like a 45min drive from my house while fsu is about 4 hours....I'm not sure if I like being so close to home or not. Thank you!</p>
<p>USF is next door to a Veteran’s (VA) hospital and because of that it might just have the greatest opportunity for a pre-med. FSU isn’t too far behind, but FSU medical school would also be cheaper. I am going to FSU for summer C and am considering pre-med. I’m a high-school senior and every time I’ve visited FSU i’ve had the time of my life. FSU also has such a beautiful campus and is well known for the complete college experience. I have not visited USF but I have lots of friends excited to go there- most will enter pre-med. They are both great schools and both will offer great opportunity. If you want to come down to the minor details about what school would benefit you more in the future then go with USF. But the difference isn’t anything major. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for replying & yeah, I rather go to FSU, but idk…a lot of people told me that they enjoy USF so I’m not sure, it’s stressing me out. Do you think the classes are harder at fsu than usf? I really want my gpa to be as high as possible </p>
<p>There is no noticeable difference in class difficulty between USF and FSU. It varies largely on the courses and teachers. You will not have a higher GPA just because you attended USF over FSU or vice versa. </p>
<p>USF is also very research-oriented, and I personally think that is a good leg-up for even the Ivy’s. Having a few papers to your name with a few hundred shadowing/volunteer hours will definitely put you up on the list for something like JH.</p>
