<p>Perhaps once he has visited both, he will have more clarity with regard to which one he can see himself attending and which factors are most important to him.</p>
<p>I would definitely choose one of the two over the other schools you mentioned (not that any of the others are bad…just my personal preference.)</p>
<p>Regarding FSU vs. the more expensive schools in the Northeast, it is a very personal decision with no right or wrong answer and dependent on various factors (the least of which is not finances.) The Florida Prepaid + Bright Futures money is hard to say no to. Of course you can use your Florida Prepaid money towards your tuition for a school in the Northeast. It can be a tough call, and I’m still trying to figure out the best answer to that dilemma as well! </p>
<p>At any rate, your son should do great at either of these two schools. Good luck!</p>
