For me? UK all the way ... Great Facilities, Great City, Flagship State School, SEC Sporting Events, Near the Mountains, Bluegrass Horse Country, White Castle, if you are OOS there are 3 convenient airports to shop for cheap airfare home - Lexington, Louisville, or Cincinnati (Northern KY) - etc, etc
To the average Joe you went to University of KY - "OH Cool"
To the average Joe you went to LECOM - "What? Where? Oh...why didn't you go to UF?"
**You asked for opinion - to be clear this is mine. If you like LECOM then go there and you will do fine...after all people go to Florida on vacation. Congratulations and WoW on having a choice!!
