@sewin2music Hi! When I first saw your comments on here I thought it was a little insane how similar your decision was to the one I now have to make. I still have yet to commit to a school. I’m heavily leaning towards UCF - it’s an amazing school and the concept of going there without driving myself into huge amounts of debt still seems too good to be true. My only source of hesitation is the 11-month contract for towers and the fact that UT Dallas has such a strong program… while I definitely prefer UCF overall, I’m a big “option paralysis” kind of person and I’m having trouble convincing myself that I won’t regret passing up the offer from UT.
With that in mind, I was wondering if you could tell me a little about why you decided to pick UCF over UT Dallas and any interesting information you found when directly comparing those two schools. It would really help me make the decision and finally stop stressing about college… May 1st is in less than a month!!
Also, how are you handling the fact that living in the Honors LLC requires paying for housing in the summer? I’m torn between just finding a cheaper option or just sucking it up and paying the extra 2k, but I’m probably going home over break and I don’t like the idea of spending my summers working to pay for a room I’m not gonna be living in. (Note: I already have enough AP credit to exempt me from the FL summer semester, and I probably won’t be taking classes during the summer since I dont think tuition is covered by the scholarship?)
Thanks, and maybe I’ll see you in the fall!
