Hello,
I am going back for a second bachelors degree in biology and want to go into FWC and be a biological scientists. I plan on applying for FSU and USF. My family and friends went to FSU and they have a combined bachelors/masters program in biological science that I am interested in, but it’s far away and according to research it is the number 1 party school and Greek life college in the US so I wouldn’t want to get distracted. I’ve been to the games and stayed on the campus ever since I was a kid. It is cheap to get an apartment there.
I did my first undergrad at USF and graduated in 2021 in forensic studies and justice but I wanted to do something different with my career path. I stayed on the St Pete campus but when Covid hit I moved back in with my parents and did it all online. I loved the city life and view and being close to home but it is expensive to find an apartment around there.
So I am kind of on the fence about a lot of this and it’s a hard decision to make. I know I plan on applying to both of them for summer 2025.
First off, you have to see if you can even get a 2nd bachelor.
FSU says if you have an FSU degree - you need approval from an academic dean.
USF puts out more info.
I would say this - you’re an older student - hopefully you have the self control if you want to avoid parties. I assure you at a school like FSU, not everyone parties.
I’d find the school you feel most comfortable - but I’d also ensure to talk to FSU to ask about the possibilities for enrolling for a 2nd bachelor.
Best of luck to you.
