First of all, welcome to CC!

I’m resisting my bias and first gut reaction – which was to say YES to UCF, because it’s your D’s number 1 (and my D’s).

But really, it’s a complex question with many many facets. I don’t know anything about UL or UIUC (not even sure which schools those are). USF is a good school, and our D’s best friend is a student there now.

One important factor is the acceptance date. Does she have a deadline for accepting? If Spring is like Summer, there is often a 30 day acceptance period, and after that it’s a NO.

One option would be to see if you can take courses at home and transfer the credits to UCF for the Fall semester.

Another important consideration is her intended major. Some majors, she’ll be fine (and equal) anywhere she goes. But others, the university matters greatly.

In the grand scheme of things, one term is not going to matter greatly. All things being equal, I’d be tempted to go with the #1.
