<p>The issue I’m reading on this thread is that the OP wants to go to college outside of Florida. Her mom has Florida Prepaid to some degree, and the student qualifies for some level of bright Futures. The mom has clearly stated that she would like this student to attend college in FL…presumably for the financial advantage it gives them.</p>
<p>Everyone here has said…the OP can and should look for options where she will be able to fund college with a net cost that is within the parameters set by her mom. This is not being overbearing…it is being realistic.</p>
<p>These issues really have nothing to do with the GC at all. These are financial issues the OP needs to reconcile with her mom.</p>
