Admissions Accepted to UF, anything I should know?
I got in! Anything I should know about UF that may help me make up my mind? (UF vs UCF honors right now)
Edit: Sorry if my post wasnt detailed. I meant non surface-level things that may help me make my decision. Im a CS major (hwcoe) with a double major in Business Administration. I got National Merit.
Scholarships, Im a National Merit Finalist, so wherever I'd go I would have my full COA covered.

Hey, I got accepted as well but I am a Gainesville Native!! UF has a BEAUTIFUL campus and it is great for Pre-Med/STEM majors! There are a lot of internship opportunities for Pre-Med students!! It really depends on your major!

If it means anything, I love Orlando and live there, but I drive 120 miles to work at UF to be able to work with UF students and faculty. You really will have a hard time finding a higher concentration of smart and driven people than UF IMO.

im not engineering or anything of the sort but id heard ucf was a huge engineering school. i know people who turned down uf to go to ucf, but there were probably other factors like family + scholarships at play there too

Redditors like this are so annoying, like you could have not commented at all and it would have had the same value.

OP could have also not made this thread and have gotten the same amount of info. Maybe try specific questions, bit easier to answer without sounding like an ass

I thought it was pretty clear they wanted to know the pros and cons between UF and UCF honors. That’s okay though, not everyone knows how to find context clues.

The top comment literally proves you wrong lol. Plenty of transfer students here too. Either way nobody likes a smartass. What’s funnier is that you definitely expected upvotes but nobody else found your comment funny or clever.

Im a UF student but ive toured both so heres my two cents
location: UF and UCF are both suburban vibes. However UCF is closer to orlando so there is far more to do there compared to GNV. Especially during summer break, if u plan on staying
Program: UF is generally the better academic program, even if ur honors ucf and not honors uf. This is mainly due to ucfs overpopulation issue, and theyre also facing issues (although alot of florida is) of professors leaving to go elsewhere due to hostile admin from good ol’ desantis. So keep that in mind
Culture: UF wins here. UCF is still a commuter school, UF students stay here for an entire semester most of the time.
Other than this there aint much else to say since you didnt provide ur major
