<p>There are several angles you should consider with your decision making. I chose regular USF over regular UF because of some opportunities available to me at USF which weren’t available to me at UF. Every student is unique and should make college selection decision with in mind what is best for him/her and not rely on what the herd is doing just because that’s what everyone else does.</p>
<p>One of the benefits of USF Honors College is priority registration for classes. I’m not in Honors College, but I am eligible for first day priority registration and I can almost guarantee having priority registration will save me the expense and time of having to attend at least one extra semester of college because of course scheduling problems I would most certainly have without priority registration. A semester at USF costs upwards of $8000. If for no other reason attending USF Honors could be better than UF because of the priority registration! That’s just one reason, of course; there are many other things to consider for your situation, but I think, CP, you already answered your question yourself. Maybe take the ACT again and shoot for USF Honors; picking up 2 points isn’t easy, but if you don’t try you’ll always wonder what might have happened if you had tried.</p>
