You can determine institutions that would be a good match for your degree or other “wants” on the College Navigator website (http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/). Respond to the series of questions about the two institutions in the space provided using complete sentences. Each question must have a detailed response; using “none” or “N/A” as a response is not sufficient. Consider what is most important to you, the pros and cons of an institution, and what you want for your future. You should reference your institution’s website or College Navigator to obtain information to assist with your responses. Be sure to check off which institution has the advantage for each category; use your responses and the advantage check-marks to determine which institution is currently your future transfer school.

a. In-state is $5,656, out-of-state is $18,786 b. $18,786 c. Room and board is $10,666, books and supplies are $1,000

a. It is not as large as UCF, the student population is about 41,362 ( 33,008 undergraduate) b. It has everything in campus as same as UCF. Now I study in Valencia College, so I do not want to move to the other city, because I get used to everywhere in Orlando .

Advantage Student Population: Use College Navigator to answer these questions. a. Discuss the student population and demographic. How it will encourage your personal development and college success? b. What is the student to faculty ratio? c. What is your comfort level with the student population and student to faculty ratio?

a. UCF has 86,06% of undergraduate student, it shows that UCF is very attractive university in Florida and it encourages me to study in UCF. b. Student to faculty ratio is 30 to 1, it means that one faculty can help 30 students about studying, living and moving around campus. c. UCF is a crowded university, it means UCF is an attractive university so it attracts a lot of student. Student to faculty ratio is 30 to 1, so I can see that UCF’s faculty is really helpful for student.

☒

☐

1. FSU has 79.87% of undergraduate students, and FSU offers so many awards such as Associate’s degree, Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree… It shows that I will have so many choices if I apply to FSU 2. Student to faculty ratio is 22 to 1. FSU’s faculty can help many student to feel comfort to study better, they can have more focus on their students. FSU’s student to faculty ratio is smaller than UCF, it means that faculty can take care of their students, because one faculty only need to care about small group of students.

Final analysis: In 100 – 250 words, explain why you selected a particular school and the reason you gave it the advantage over the other institution. Include specific facts that demonstrate you have thought critically about the institution you have selected. I have been studying for Valencia College for a year, and I know that after two years in Valencia College, I’ll need to choose which University I should transfer because I am an AA degree student. During this time, I have been searching around about UCF, USF, FSU… Therefore, I make a comparison about a few universities in Florida. My major is Business Administration and I knew that UCF’s MBA program is ranked among top 10 “Best Administered” in nation, thus. I am really attracted about this fact. Moreover, UCF is ranked as one of the biggest universities in nation; in my opinion, UCF is like a small town, so I think when I’ll study in UCF, I wouldn’t need to go anywhere to relax after class, I only need to stay in campus, because it gets everything that I need, I only need to focus on studying.
