Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
Let me just start by say I visited FSU, USF, and UCF and I was accepted by all three. I chose USF because it has everything I wanted. Great weather, near beautiful beaches, outstanding athletics, and most importantly phenominal academics! I visited FSU and found students were VERY stuck up and unapproachable. UCF just did not seem to have very much spirit and everyone just seemed to be there just because they were being made to go like it was just a really large high school. USF on the other hand has been getting a lot of buzz after getting a nice boost in ranking (among public research universities USF Ranks 27th currently). They are even talking about building their own USF Medical Center similar to the University of Washington Medical Center which would be HUGE for USF if that plan were to materialize. This school is definately on the rise and I am so proud to be here during this amazing transformation going from a boring commuter school to a vibrant, internationally recognized, top tier, research university. Don't listen to anyone that tells you that USF is still a commuter school, is full of ugly cement architecture, and lacking in academics. They clearly do not have a clue what they are talking about. I am attending presently and can tell you with full confidence everything from the academics to the everything the university has to offer is worth every penney. USF offers many opportunities for internships that a lot of universities in small college towns can't offer. Being in a city like Tampa you get a nice boost in employment opportunities and local businesses really support USF's graduates. You will make long lasting friendships and have a college experience you will remember for the rest of your life. It seems like the only thing that matters to Florida high school and transfer students when selecting a University is whether it has a good football team or not. Now USF's football team is the Dark Horse in division 1 football having beaten the likes of Auburn, Florida State, Miami, and now Notre Dame. They are expected to win the Big East title this year. That is one thing I will hand to football in a lot of universities is that it unites the campus and everyone identifies with one another almost like a family. What can I say? It's great to be a South Florida Bull.

P.S. If you are looking at majoring in Social Work at the Bachelor's level, they are only accepting 25 students a year now so the program is highly competitive to say the least. I was going to major in that, but decided not to and changed my major to Long Term Care Administration. Just an FYI.

commentTHere are some things you shared are solid. Clear you like being a bull. when you have a campus ina state capitol like Tallahassee does, maybe you can take some time to uinderstand why thjey are stuck up. tHEN NOT TO MENTION THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS AND reasons why transfer students want in a university. Many of them have nothing to do with the sports or reasons you offered.
