I’m in a bind here. I got accepted into both the University of Maine and the University of Florida. Florida has always been my dream school but as of right now I am seriously considering Maine. I know the academics at Florida are better but when I was at the school in Maine, I felt something that I hadn’t at Florida. I felt like I belonged there, a connection of sorts. I am going to study Zoology and really just am unsure of what to do.

Here’s some of the reasons I’m considering each school:

Umaine- Accepted to the honors college, $40,000 scholarship over the 4 years, clubs and activities that interest me, research opportunities

UF- better academics, higher job placement, name recognition, higher ranking in my major

What would you do? What should I do? I realize a lot of you are going to say “Do what you want to do” and I will, but I want some more opinions on the matter. Thanks
