<p>... my parents to let me go to, not just FAU, but any school in south Florida for that matter. I'm originally from Hollywood, Florida and I have lived most of my life in Ohio, but now I live in Alabama. I have always wanted to go back "home" even though it has never really been home from what I can remember. Everything I want I can get in So. Florida. Before moving to Alabama I was set in stone on going to a Florida school, and my parents had no problem. Now that I live in Alabama they seem to have a different view. I mention the same schools as before and they just shoot them down. They talk about the out of state tuition for these schools. And it's only Florida schools. I'm also considering LSU, but they have zero problem with it. Sorry about the long message, but any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>All I can say is that you have to make that decision on your own. It’s what going to make you happy, so if you want to go to FAU or any other southern florida college, you have to make that effort. Best of luck to you!</p>
