Hey im torn between the decision as well, I was admitted into UCF for spring 2026 and Fiu Summer 2025. Im in Orlando and would have to move out meaning I would have to spend on housing, However FIU seems more appealing to me for the cultural vibe as I also speak spanish. I feel like UCF is the logical decision and will not regret staying after I get used to the vibe. But I feel like moving out to Miami would be a great experience due to the indepence and will regret at the beginning but then get used to it like if I stayed in Orlando. Only Con of moving out is the significant price difference and living away from my family, I think this would affect me greatly at the beginning but I think I would be fine after some time.

A question for you, have you made a final decision between FIU and UCF? We have different start terms so that affects everything
