rushing at USF as a junior

I really don't think any other FL school can say much to UF...I'm no Gator fan, but strong academics, strong athletics...

I was under the impression that Miami was actually very strong academically.......don't know where I heard that.

My experience in Florida schools:

UF- you only party if you wish. Academics are tough. Parking is the biggest problem. I outgrew Gainesville after a few years, but my folks still live there.

UNF- they are strict with payments. If you don't pay on time, they drop you! UF didn't do that. I never got a degree from here- only took 3 graduate level classes- so I cannot give much more insight.

USF- I had no problem getting the classes I wanted. But then, I was a graduate student. However, they do charge for transcripts and make you wait a while for them- which UF didn't do. And you have to wait for your diplomas as well.

Anyhow, when I entered USF to go to library school, a sorority was just colonizing or having a first rush there. It was ZTA. I was VERY tempted to check them out- but the rush activities were coinciding with my classes and job. Plus I did not know if you could do it as a graduate student- but had I could, you bet I would have tried. Shows you my interest never went away. I'm a PNAM now.

It is very strong academically. I would argue more so than UF. Miami is a private university. UF is a public school and the flagship university of the state.

As both a UF & UM (grad school) alumna, I wouldn't say that UM is very strong academically. It is very easy to get accepted to UM, esp compared to UF. Though it's private, UM offers tons of financial aid/scholarships if you qualify...which is how they get so many of Miami's top high school students, esp the ones who don't want to leave the comforts of home.
