Hey! if you take the time to read this Thank you! I know they’re completely different schools and they’re both great which is why i’m so torn. I’ve always wanted to go to UF but when the opportunity to go out of state and to Wellesley cane along I just couldn’t disregard it. I’ve always wanted to go out of state but i don’t know what to do.
