So I’ve been accepted to both UF and UM as is often the case. At this point I have a pretty equal pro/cons list for both, but is wondering which has the better undergraduate neuroscience program. I know that at UF it is an IDS major, which could be both a good or bad thing compared to UM’s Neuroscience program. At UF I’d probably choose the cognitive neuroscience track and at UM I’d choose psychobiology. UM gave me a lot of scholarship money so the difference in price isn’t really an issue. I plan on doing pre-med, too, and take a second major in some time of social science or humanities. I am in the honors program at UF which would take care of the more individualized attention which UM often boasts about in comparison to UF. So basically, which has the stronger neuroscience program in your opinion and which would best facilitate a double major, pre-med track. Leave all bias at the door please. I just want some legitimate reasoning.
