I have a dilema. I plan to go to either UCF or FSU to study music. I would like to be a Music producer or composer someday. If I go to FSU, I plan to major in Commercial Music (this also gives me a free Business Minor). If I go to UCF, I plan to double major in Music Composition and Digital Media (I kinda wanna do something in this field, too).

My problem is deciding which school to go to. I love both of them and both of their music programs are excellent. UCF is like 10 minutes away from where I live so it would help slash my tuition by not having to pay for a dorm. Plus, I've been inside UCF's campus many times and I love it. I'm going to tour FSU's campus soon. I'm just stuck between these two. Any suggestions?

It's not really a straight answer. FSU clearly has the national reputation and rankings, but it's a very large program (1100 music students),& you will probably be working more with graduate assistants vs. tenured professors as an undergrad, at least your first two years. The UCF music program is more up & coming with only about 300-400 students, but you will be working directly with the professors. I suggest you tour each school's music program, ask questions and determine what the best fit is for YOU before following anyone's advice. Reputation counts, but so do 100 other factors that differ by individual.
