Transfer Student to USF

Hello Everybody!

I am currently a student at a university in Michigan. Over the course of this last academic school year I have applied to a few colleges in Florida as an out of state transfer student. Out of the colleges that I have applied to, I have been accepted into the University of South Florida in Tampa into a STEM major.
I want to know if anybody has any experience at being an out of state transfer student? What are the pros and cons? How can I establish residency in Florida in order to get in-state tuition after a year? What is it like living in your own? How can I balance school and work and still be successful?

Any and all information would be helpful!

In-state tuition is not an option. Unless you’re 24, in the military, or married…and establish residency in FL, you’re a dependent in whatever state your parents live in. If it’s weather, well…can’t help you there :slight_smile: Most STEM majors are employable out of college either way. If it’s prestige, you could apply to Michigan or Michigan State.
