FSU and it's not close. I say this as a diehard Gator

Why?

Cricket is right about good academic standing. Don't flunk out and you'll be fine.

As for your other considerations, that's where you have to decide for yourself.

FSU has better employment numbers and better access to government, two things that he wants. On top of that, it's half the price of UF. What's the confusion?

EDIT: I didn't see the part where UF almost matched the scholarship. That makes it a lot closer, and lobbying is a pretty unicornish job anyway. But to build the kind of connections with the government that a "lobbying" job would require, being in Tallahassee sure would help.

Just heard back from UF. You guys are right, stip is don't fail out i.e. 2.0.

It's not half the price. It is around $33k at FSU and $40k at UF. $7k is not really a big difference. Tally is also slightly more expensive than Gainesville. If OP didn't update with a scholarship, FSU would be the clear answer.

I agree that FSU has better employment numbers in government. Seems like OP has more connections to UF and would be happier there. For $7k I think that's a completely reasonable decision.
