Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
It all depends on what your personal preferences are; if you would rather go to a larger school, University of Central Florida or University of South Florida would be your best bet. University of Central Florida has 45,301 students and University of South Florida has 36,595 students, while Florida Gulf Coast University only has 9,713 students. Also, the atmosphere is an important factor, if you like a suburban setting, Florida Gulf Coast University or University of Central Florida is a good fit. On the other hand, University of South Florida is in an urban setting so it is more city-like. Another important aspect to consider is what the school's values are. University of South Florida does not put as much faith in standardized test scores as the other two schools do. That may say something about the school's expectations and how the overall environment will be like. It's all about your opinion based on the qualities that each of these schools have. They all have a lot to offer as far as majors, maybe you could look the schools up online and find out exactly what they can offer you specifically. What type of major are you interested in? The school that has the programs you are looking for is probably your best fit. Congratulations on getting accepted!
Best of Luck,

Well I go to Florida International University and I absolutely love it! UCF is a lot like FIU, in the sense of the size and the architecture. It has very nice buildings and it's a lovely campus. It's like a real school... like the ones in movies. If you are majoring in hospitality, mass communications, or going planning on going to medical school, UCF has a wonderful program. I would recommend UCF hands down to anyone who wants a real college experience, an excellent education, and a fun place. Since I live in Miami, I travel to Orlando a lot and it is a nice city with lots of things to do for people of all ages, where as in other cities, maybe not so much. Keep in mind though, that smaller cities and schools that don't have as much activity in the city have much higher campus involvement.
I have friends who go to fgcu and they love it. If you want to live on campus, it's a little cheaper than Orlando or Miami. My friends lived there for a year and then got their own apartment. Since it's in Fort Myers, it's a little bit of a quieter city, but like I said, higher campus involvement. It's a relatively new university, so, the buildings are also very nice and everything is very modern. You are close to the beach, which is a plus. I don't know where you live now, but coming from Miami, I think I would really miss the beach if I went to UCF.
USF is in Tampa, which has evolved A LOT. They've done a lot of new things to the city, and it looks very nice. But, then again, coming from a big city, a lot of people would say it's a culture shock. Since I don't really know where you're coming from, it's hard to say which of these 3 would be the most culture shock for you. It also depends on your major and what you are looking for in a University. All these schools are SEMI party-schools. I mean, their not like fsu or uf, BUT their fun. Their not boring schools in the snow. haha. Either of these would be a great choice, but evaluating yourself and your personality, maybe you can take some of the advice i gave you and apply it to yourself as to what you would like better.
I really hope I helped.
