What are my chances at USF?

I’d figure closer to the $30,000. Off campus housing means you will likely have to commit to a full one year written contract/lease for an apartment and it is near impossible getting a student apartment for less than $500/month—$6,000/year. Food will cost you at least $200/month if you buy your own groceries and prepare your meals yourself–$2,400/year. Airplane fare from home will cost you a lot and too you will need some extra cash during year for basics like buying maybe some clothes and things like toothbrushes, etc. $25,000/year probably won’t be enough, and keep in mind you probably can’t count on being allowed to work here outside school to earn extra money to pay for your college expenses.

Contact USF’s International Students Service Office to get a better handle on how much money you’ll need. Good Luck!
