I am currently a community college student in Florida and I am thinking about transferring to the University of Florida as a ME major or possibly a dual ME/AE major. My question is how do co-ops and internships work if you go to a university that is in the middle of nowhere? Do you relocate and take a couple of semesters off? Is it better to go to a less prestigious university that is in a better location, like USF? I am open to the idea of going to a different university and that includes going out of state, assuming that I could get in and get financial help. I would like to go to Stanford( lol ), but I’m fairly certain that I couldn’t get in, even with a 4.0 GPA, and that UF is the best school that would accept me. I am also interested in doing undergrad research and doing a minor. I am not 100 percent sure if ME is right for me or will get me a job. I need help, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to tell me about your major and college experience that too would be very helpful. Thanks
