Stetson vs. miami
Posted: Sun Feb 09, 2014 1:21 pm
I was put on a wait list for Miami and was told they would reevaluate my application at the end of April. I was immediately accepted into Stetson. I honestly didn't think I would be admitted to Miami so I made up my mind to go to Stetson. However, today I received my acceptance letter from Miami. I do not like the city of Miami at all and I can't even imagine living there and I am from am currently live in the tampa area and am very willing to move to Gulfport.
I currently work at a very successful law firm of mostly Stetson graduates and I feel that I could have internship opportunities with my firm and maybe possible employment after graduation. I don't really want to practice their type of law but I think they would probably be willing to provide recommendations and make some phone calls for me. The Stetson community is very close and people are willing to help each other out.
Although Stetson seemed like the clear choice for me, I know I have a ton to think about after being accepted to Miami. I know that miami is a better and a more well known school so I want to know if going there would be better for me. Cost is also a factor. Miami is more expensive for tuition and living but Stetson is also very expensive. I want to know if it is better to suck it up and live in Miami for a few years and get a better job or to go with my initial plan of Stetson.
