UF vs Amherst

Looking to transfer this year from a community college at Florida, what's a better pick? In terms of OCR, networking, resources and everything else? Interested in IB/SnT. Already doing finance as an undergrad but thinking about a minor in stats or double major Fin/Stat. Any advice or criticism?

Amherst and it isn't even close. Probably cheaper too given their finaid

 

I'm a UF finance student, also transferred. The vast majority of IB placements here are from the MSF program, which is not open to transfers. It's going to be an uphill battle trying to do IB as a transfer anywhere since you're competing against students that have been networking for two years. UF is a great school and has a massive alumni network, especially in the southeast.
