I have applied to many school in Florida such as: USF, Uf, and FAMU. I have been accepted into USF and FAMU, but I perferred FAMU because of all the pleasing compliments I have heard from numerous people, those whom are attending and those of whom my mother is friends with. When I finally came here to FAMU for my first semester I have truly met many who are willing to help with any diffuculties and many who are caring. Also, there are those who will encourge you to do your best when you feel like there is no hope.
