Low income student, immigrant first gen. Looking for exciting intellectual environment. [FL, 3.9/1400, physics & philosophy]

I would be a Florida academic scholar (I think that’s the name, I know I qualify for the 100% one), but it only covers tuition… The cheapest part of attending college in a Florida public.
I did qualify. I didn’t apply because I wanted to do ED one school. Would have made sense if that school was not free loans.
