<p>First, thanks for all the replies and for the information. I’ve been looking for someplace to just be able to talk and ask questions without having to enroll in a school and I think I have finally found a place. What a relief!</p>

<p>Yes, I plan to attend University of South Florida and live off campus. I did attend college before, but only completed my first semester which was 10 credits. Would that still be considered a transfer student? And do you know if I would still qualify for the freshman scholarships since I have not completed a full year yet? </p>
<p>I do not plan to give up my work as a minister. I have been staff at my church for almost 8 years and have been a minister for the last 4. I am not there for money and as far as pay goes, it is almost volunteer work. I am there nights and weekends, about 40 hours a week. 5-10 M-F and 9-6 Sat/Sun. I expect to spend about 35 hours a week on college once I start and do not see how I could add another job on top of a 75 hour/week schedule. </p>
<p>I am 28 years old. </p>

<p>What’s an EFC estimator?</p>
<p>What is NPC?</p>
<p>I will definitely check out that website and the Money Matters part of the website you said and thanks for the rest of your advice. I am an adult student - 28 years old.</p>
<p>Right now I work as an independent contractor buying and reselling used iPhones. This takes up my time M-F 9-5 and pays my bills. </p>
