I've been thinking about it and my top two choices are University of Central Florida and Armstrong Atlantic State University. Both are in amazing cities that I love visiting, and I can see myself living in both of them. However, they're both completely different.
Savannah is more of a small, quiet seaport town. It still has antebellum homes that survived the Civil War and the Spanish moss coming down from all the trees. Nearby is Tybee Island, which is the closest beach. I have a lot of good memories at that beach. There's this amazing seafood restaurant there that my family and I have eaten at every time we go there. The school is a very small school, possibly smaller than the first university I attended. It was also one of the first schools I considered when looking at different PT schools. I always found it to be a very beautiful place.
On the other hand, Orlando is the theme park capital of the world. There's Disney, Universal Studios, and Sea World. The school I'll be attending is north of the parks, so I won't exactly be in the middle of chaos. Still, it is close to downtown. With it being a larger city, there is a greater chance of getting a job somewhere. I'll live about an hour away from Cocoa Beach and Daytona Beach, so there's always something to do on the weekends. Also, if I become a Florida resident, I will get discount tickets for the parks, which is always nice.
So how do I choose? Both are amazing places and offer different things. Of course, it'll have to go by what the school offers me, but it helps to know what my surroundings are. Not only do I have to like the school, but I have to like where I live, seeing as I'll be living there for three years (maybe more if I really like it). I still have some investigating to do.
