Im currently a high school senior right now living in Ohio. My family will be moving to Tampa in the next year so I’m considering attending college in Florida. My #1 school rn is UCF but I dont think I’ll get in as I’m a very mediocre student (3.8 weighted gpa, 26 acts, no sports or clubs just volunteer work). I want to attend a public university to save $$ but I also want to live in a school near a big city. Because of my grades I don’t think i’ll get into USF , UCF, or FSU. My only option would be to attend FIU but I am worried I will not have the normal college expirience since nearly 95% of the students are commuters. I have family in Miami and am latina which helps haha but I’m just worried I won’t make any friends especially since I’m not from south florida. FIU is the cheapest option even cheaper than me staying in Ohio all 4 years at a punlic university. IDK WHAT TO DO PLS HELP!!
I know a lot of students at FIU who are NOT commuter students It cannot be that I happen to know the 5% who aren’t commuters (these kids are from N Florida and live in dorms or now as upperclassmen, in apts in the area.
