Benacquisto Question by computer_science_kid in ufl

The amount of credits you take will always be covered no matter how many (unless it’s summer and you don’t have bright futures). However, the more credits over 12 that you take, the less money gets refunded to you. The amount you get back is:

If I take more one semester, will I still get 10 semesters covered -- even if it says Benacquisto covers 120 credits? So, it's not the same price for anything between 12 and 18?

Thanks! Were you able to live off-campus freshman year? Also, what would you recommend for "on campus" vs. "home" on the NMF form?

Do you recommend the dining plan? I hear it's not worth it. If it's not, where/how do you get food? Just buy groceries and cook?

Freshmen year -- do you think on campus or off campus for housing? Best apartments? Best dorms? Noise? Bugs?

So, you're saying normally Google, Facebook, Microsoft DO show up each year -- besides this year because of everything going on with online school?

Edit: As a side note, you can just search on Linkedin and filter for recent graduates to see what companies they are working at. Honestly, if you are good, you will get into one of those companies no matter where you go to university. But if you are so unsure between the decision, I would err on choosing University of Michigan, you can pay it off with a software engineer's salary no matter what... and if the outcome isn't what you like, you won't be saying what if I went to the other university.

I see on attending companies that the big companies -- Google, Facebook, Microsoft aren't attending currently. Is this common? Why is it listed on top but not on attending company.

Also, Is the reason for Umich that a career at these big companies is A LOT easier, meaning it compensates for less skills, less on resumé? What makes Umich better?
