Wow, things have changed for my daughter, big time, and she has decided to turn down Rollins after all and go to the University of Central Florida. Money was the biggest reason, for the same exact reason that you stated nyny dad, it was simply too much for our middle class family, and I agreed, it is well known here in Central Florida as a wonderful college, but is pretty much unknown outside of this area. It is beautiful! It truly is a country club lifestyle there. My daughter finally realized that she would not be one of those kids with that country club lifestyle, but instead would be the one one working every weekend to pay just to go there, and would not even be able to afford a dorm on campus. She was dead-set against going to UCF until she actually toured the campus and found that she loved it. She was accepted to FSU also, but she felt that UCF had more to offer. Bright Futures made it possible for her to have to take a very small amount of loans that we will most likely be able to pay for most, if not at least half of those loans by the time she is done. Rollins is beautiful! I would have loved to have seen her go there, and she did get a very generous merit scholarship, but even after that, it was still way more than UCF will cost.
