is penn state or florida state better for political science academically? ik fsu being by the capitol is good for internships but im wondering if penn state has similar opportunities?
which one would be the best to go to, ignoring cost?
i got into both penn state and fsu for a poli sci ba. i haven’t seen my financial aid yet, so i'll probably go wherever is cheaper, but i want to know which one is actually better for my goals.
i’m on a pre-law track and want to get into a top-tier school like yale or georgetown. i already have strong state-level advocacy experience in florida—i was a student elected official on the school board of the 3rd largest school district in the US and led a successful statewide education policy initiative—but i don't feel like i have much left to gain in tallahassee. i really want to get out of florida and move toward the nyc/dc corridor.
penn state is a big pull for me because my boyfriend is there. we’ve been long distance for a while, and being with him again would give me a lot of personal stability. i’m from miami and love city life, so a college town like state college is a little scary, but i wouldn't mind it if it meant being together.
the biggest challenge is that i’m currently homeless and have to work at least 30 hours a week to pay my bills (i already have a job & can transfer wherever, so getting a job isn't an issue). that doesn't leave much time for extra internships, so i need a school that offers the best resources and the most direct path to my goal. ignoring cost for a second, which school is the better move?
