OP is not currently at Purdue. OP is a student at a Florida community college considering various universities to transfer to. The various out-of-state public schools including Purdue are likely to be much more expensive than the Florida public schools at in-state prices.
This link is quite old (2003), but it indicates that NASA recruiting may be wider than you think:

It does not look like a complete list, since there are known other campuses that NASA recruits at (e.g. UA Huntsville, which is near a NASA facility). You can also apply to NASA on your own:
