According to their website, Santa Fe has the highest transfer rate to UF and boasts as the college that is the “gateway to the gators”.
Tuition at Santa fe is ~$2k to 2.5k and after rooming/boarding etc, it’s around $6k per year.
If I go to USF, I plan on either living on campus or renting and apartment. Maybe live with a friend.
As far as I know, I’m eligible for the directors award at USF which is $2k/semester for all 4 years and I was accepted to their honors program. I also will probably get the highest level of bright futures (which is the governmental scholarship in florida) because I’m in IB, and I also applied for fafsa. I’ve applied to financial aid at Santa fe but they haven’t gotten back to me because I still need to send my high school transcript.
USF is my local college as I live in Tampa.
