actually, you guys seem to have a good program, i mean, you're pretty good after only one year..in foil no less. but other than that, i'd go to central FL.

zasha,

you're in nj, and there's probably tons of fencing up there. what is so important about having a school program in fencing?? as long as there's fencing in the city that should be good enough..if you're going to have a car, that is. that's the difference. if you go solely on the school having a fencing club/program, you might be disappointed. if you go to my school's website, you'll see that we have a usfa registered fencing club, but if you actually come here, you would be soooooooo disappointed with what actually is here.

i'd also stay in state since out of state tuition is like 10 times higher..

it's much easier to get from dinner to practice when practice is a 3 minute walk from dinner.

when practices are on campus, it makes it that much more convenient to get to, the same way that on-campus work study work is much easier to fit into your schedule than a job off campus (usually).

if you're going to be fencing off campus on a regular basis, you had better hope that the club you plan on going to is close by. and depending on where you go to school, what your schedule looks like, and if you need to work..... it might work. or it might not.

i don't really sleep much while at school......

You're also thinking about colleges where the "campus" has buildings/facilities all within walking distance of each other. I'm doing the college tours with my own right now and have found quite a variety of what's referred to as "a college campus."
