University of Florida (IS)
Pros:
OOS - with scholarship
Pros:
Pros:
- My current undergrad school so I am comfortable living there, and know where I would live and my day to day life of grocery shopping, gym, etc would be the same
- Good reputation especially if working in florida after all professionals I have spoken to speak very highly of the program
- Know lots of current students and faculty
- Cheaper cost of living and tuition
- 5 hour drive from home
- football games
- Hot in the summer
- Not sure how realistic it is to specialize from here
- Not a ton to do and I already live here now so not experiencing a new city - I love Gainesville for undergrad, but the thought of 4 more years there is overwhelming.
- Old facility, but there will be construction for a new building that might be open by my senior year
OOS - with scholarship
Pros:
- New place to live
- Outdoorsy person and would have more of an opportunity to experience that lifestyle
- Current students have all had positive things to say about the program
- Would be open to staying in Colorado longer than these 4 years - I think this is a good opportunity to move away especially to a new state if I was ever to do so
- ACTS rotations
- modern facility
- specialization ? i think they had a higher percentage of people match, but want to know more
- can have a suburb and city life in combination
- 4 hour flight from home (Have to plan when going home and can't do it as spontaneously)
- more expensive (40k more in total for all 4 years)
- Risk of not liking city or being so far from home (high risk high reward?)
- Aurora safety
- possibly would have to commute 20ish minutes to school depending on where I lived
- separate from undergrad campus
- snow isn't a con, but i don't have tons of experience living with in winter weather
