bigdog17k Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm currently attending Valencia Community College with probably about a year or less remaining before I can transfer. And I'm torn on whether to go to UCF which is like right here, or UF. If I stayed local I would save money but also still be living at home, and not really experiencing the "college lifestyle" to where as I would be getting by going to UF. But then seeing family and local friends becomes harder. What do you guys think, or what would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Its all up to you man, dont make us change your decision. But if I were you I would stay close too home and save money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Try out UF and if you can't handle it transfer, gotta try to launch from the nest though, get out there and experience independence and the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 If money isn't a huge concern go for UF. If it is, stay local and go to UCF. You can still get the college experience as a commuter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsguy9695 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I would save money if I was you and go to the college by you. College costs enough as it is to go to it. So save money by living home. Nothing like moms cooking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 The thing which may hep though, since I assume you'll be a junior after you graduate and transfer, if you graduate from UF or UCF, it will only take two or three years as opposed to four or five, which will be easier on tuition as opposed to if you were jumping into UF straight out of high school. It depends on your financial situation. If you're comfortable paying more and working it off right after, you may be okay in going to UF. If you're worried about loans, go to UCF. Paying back loans is a [expletive] from what I know. *All this assumes you'll be paying for college yourself and you're broke.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks guys appreciate it, right now I'm leaning towards UCF. Like Blasco said about paying it back off, I think my parents are going to co-sign a loan, but I'm expected to pay most of it off. I've still got time to decide, I'll see what happens.

fly3rs18 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 If you have the money then i would absolutely say to UF. i love living at school and i could never imagine commuting. if i was in your situation i would consider paying extra myself to live at school. but there is nothing wrong with commuting if that is what you have to do, but id avoid it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I commute to school and I hate it, but I also think I'd hate living there. I just hate many aspects of college altogether. The point is everyone has a different opinion and wants to do their own thing, so just do what you feel most comfortable doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
