Help! Choosing between UCF with Burnett or UF!

I desperately need some help choosing between schools!

I got accepted into UCF and the Burnett Honors College (although I haven’t confirmed my place yet). I also got accepted into UF and got rejected from the Honor’s College. I have received the Pegasus Silver ($10,000) from UCF and nothing from UF.

I do not have a clear career path envisioned, but I think I would like to do Biology with a focus in forensics or even pre-med (again, I don’t really know what I want to do).

The main reason that I’m stuck between the two is I don’t know how much to value the prestige of UF over the opportunities of Burnett. But I’m also considering things like quality of dorms (UCF +1), being far away from my family (UF +1), the size of Orlando vs. Gainesville (?).

I know that posting in the UCF discussion is obviously going to give me a little bias, but I just want to know how students at UCF view their opportunities at Burnett.

Any help is so, so appreciated!
Thank you!
