Regarding your on-campus experience, it’s impossible for anyone to accurately give you an answer. It’s a trap to think of colleges as just big high schools. Michigan (27,400 undergrads), UCLA (27,200), Florida (32,600) and USC (17,400) have massive populations. Add in the grad students and three are at or over 40,000; that’s a small city.

Your social life will be what you make of it. Initially it will be everyone on your dorm floor. Eventually it will include people in your classes and the clubs you join. And while public flagship universities tend to party a bit more, you don’t need to worry about finding a good time in college.

All four are great schools with Florida being considered the least prestigious. That said, if they offered you a full ride it would be tough to walk away from.
