UF’s program is also fairly well respected. The two colleges do offer some different degree programs, so you may want to dig into it a bet deeper. The both offer the standard Journalism degrees, but ASU also has a sports journalism degree, while UF also offers degrees in Advertising, Public Relations and Telecommunications(radio and Television).

. I love going to concerts and having things to do in a big city so Gainesville kind of scares me, but part of me wants the college-y feel that it would give me.

Yep, Gainesville is your classic college town and is definitely not the big city. Between your classes, sporting events, concerts (UF host several a year), and about 1,000 student clubs, you will not be bored. For larger concerts, folks car pool down to Orlando, or perhaps Jacksonville/St. Augustine (my daughter did all three this year, concerts in Gainesville (Wiz Khalifa), Orlando, and Jacksonville).

Good Luck!
