Crap... help me decide ATOT!!

[Trevelyan]

Okay, so I finished one year of college and I'm going to go back for my sophomore year in August.

Either I go back to the Univ of Miami for a second year, and keep studying Biomedical Engineering.

OR, I transfer to Univ of Florida, and study Chemical Engineering.

PROS:

UF - cheaper by about $2500/year
UF - closer to home (5 hr drive)
UF - better ranked engineering school
UF - friends from HS go there
UF - accepts more of my AP/IB credits

Miami - got a 4.0 and it would be nice for that to count toward my GPA (which it won't at UF)
Miami - small class sizes, nice professors
Miami - already know people, met good friends, will have a place with good friend

CONS:

UF - large school, large classes
UF - have to start over GPA-wise, and will be in my second year, so that sucks
UF - have to transfer credits from Miami, hopefully they will

Miami - more expensive by about $2500/year
Miami - far from home (11 hr drive)


What do you guys think? Anyone have some guidance here?

a Cane or a Gator? Sounds like either one you choose will be the wrong one.

Probably more chicks in Biomedical Engineering.

you need to have a poll!

i'd stay in miami, being with high school friends isn't always the best thing.

since you'll be in your second year, the class size isn't that big a deal, and transfers usually go pretty well between major universities. Really, I'd just decide what degree you wanted more and go for that...

 

[Wheatmaster]

do you more medicial stuff or chemistry stuff?

 

[Trevelyan]

OK I added a poll so people can vote...

I mean I like medical stuff alright, and I had a lot of fun in engineering lab with it... so I could see myself as having that for a career.

But I am really interested in alternative energy sources, and working on technology for that, hence the chemical engineering degree.
