Hey, I am in a similar situation regarding offers in FL. How did you go about deciding to go to Stetson over FSU and UF?

I'm at UF for undergrad, and Stetson just seemed like a really nice change of pace. I'm from the Tampa area/planning on living there, and from everything I've heard, the Stetson reputation there is as strong as UF or FSU. I really think the small school atmosphere will be a better fit for me after being a number for four years. Full ride didn't hurt either! Good luck in your decision making!
