@Florida2020 - So you don’t expect to get any help from either parent? The most you, yourself, can borrow each year is about $5,500 … Are you aware of that?
You will need to take the merit opportunities offered by the Florida unis, methinks. They’re closest to home, and since that’s important to you, your costs will be much lower.
Hey, be thankful you live in Florida! You’ve got great help and higher ed support there!
