<p>I find hilarious how some people actually think UCF is more prestigious than USF.</p>

<p>USF has a very reputable medical school (the toughest for admission in the state of Florida ahead of UF) and its Big East peers are prestigious public flagship institutions like Pitt, Rutgers, UConn, and Cincinnati.</p>

<p>Nobody even knows UCF outside of Florida. UCF only recently made to Tier 3 status (USF has been Tier 3 for a long time and it's soon to be taking FSU spot as Tier 2). UCF peers are CUSA commuter schools like U of H, UTEP, UAB, ECU, Memphis, USM. </p>

<p>At USF you can get the complete college experience with the Big East (a BCS conference), at UCF you'll be watching CUSA (which USF left to open up the spot for UCF).</p>

<p>In terms of location, USF in in Tampa Bay, a tourist destination near Clearwater, St. Pete, etc... UCF is in Orlando, landlocked, with nothing to do besides Disney.</p>

<p>Go to FSU or UF. If you can’t, anything below won’t have much difference in recognition.</p>

<p>USF stands on its own as a first-class university. One can receive a quality education at any of the other 10 state of Florida public universities too.</p>
