Neuroscience UF or UM?

at this point, I could deal with either. They kind of balance each other out: I like UF’s overall atmosphere, but like UM’s location better for research and job connections. I feel like UF’s honors program is stronger than UM’s, but also feel like the gender ratio and amount of diversity is better at UM. UM and UF’s honors program both have good advising, but UM might let me have more minors than UF. Then again, UF offers another major I’m interested that is UM doesn’t have (though I am sure they offer classes in the subject). Still, I would assume that UM would be willing to give more back, being private and all, to the individual student, especially with their study abroad programs and overall flexibility. UF might be as flexible, I do not know, and they also have really good study abroad programs. UM is closer to home (I could take the train) but Gainesville is totally landlocked and the lack of shoreline is not something I am particularly used to. Basically, I feel like if I take a wrong turn on my way to Gainesville, I’ll end up in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel. Still, I feel like most of the kids at Miami from up north or wherever are there just to party and not take anything seriously, which is awful for me to say, but w/e. I am really just scatterbrained on the subject, and really biased I know.
