@anihc you just don’t get it. FAMU’s best students enroll in the engineering program. I know this may be hard for you to comprehend, but FAMU attracts very coveted students (valedictorians, salutatorians, IB Scholars, AP Scholars, top percentile test takers) just like FSU. With FAMU not being a flagship school and not getting top funding as a result, the population of them are of course smaller but they definitely exist in strong enough numbers. There are many wonderful benefits of attending a smaller and more intimate FAMU that you will never get at a larger, more expensive, and more impersonal FSU and UF.
And to the OP, my college advisors told me to never make a decision solely on rankings or people’s opinion and that’s great advice. Visit both campuses, talk to the students, look at cost, look at the percentage of biology majors accepted into graduate school, examine the location, and determine which school best performs on all those metrics and any other metrics that are important to you.
