<p>I'm a cuny Brooklyn college student in NYC
I'm going to hopefully finish my bachelors in business but the end of this year, I always wanted to go out of state and have an out of state "real college experience".
I'm really thinking about FSU, my cousin lives in Miami so I can register as If I live there to get in state tuition.</p>
<p>College in NY especially CUNY system is like a repeat of high school that's why I don't really feel I ever even went to college and want at least one semester in a real college should I do it? </p>
<p>Is it worth it?</p>
<p>And btw I will be studying hopefully acting there as that is my passion and business is my backup.</p>
<p>There are a couple of things that you need to consider with this plan. The first is that residency is typically extremely hard to prove, especially if you are currently receiving IS tuition at CUNY Brooklyn. It is unlikely that you will receive IS tuition at FSU.</p>
<p>The second is that FSU is not at all obliged to accept all of your credits, and most schools have a residency requirement in that you must complete 60 course hours at that school in order for them to give you a degree. In that case, you’d have two more years at prohibitively priced OOS tuition as opposed to one semester of IS tuition.</p>
<p>I would say no, not worth it at all, even for the ‘collegiate’ experience.</p>
<p>Toonice4ul - Look through your university’s website, and see if it has any semester long exchanges with other colleges/universities within the US. Many do. If you have not graduated yet, you should be able to squeeze in a semester exchange. Take a look at the FSU website as well, and find out what the policy is there for “guest” or “visiting” student status.</p>
<p>Most universities that accept transfers do not really want senior-level transfers. Best to just finish your remaining semester for your degree, then look for jobs in Florida.</p>
<p>Typically you must attend a university for your junior and senior year in order to get a degree from the school. Therefore, I would echo the opinions of others – finish up where you are and look to go somewhere else for either a job or grad school. You can also explore the possibility of doing a semester (or a year) abroad or or at another college in the US while remaining a student at your college.</p>
<p>Most schools want a minimum number of credits to be completed at their school in order to award a diploma carrying their name. </p>

No, you can’t. Your instate status is based on where your parents live, not where your cousin lives. Admins are not really so stupid that they will not figure out you are an OOS student.</p>
<p>So I should return to college for acting? FSU offers an Mfa and Bfa program, they are from 1-2 semesters.</p>
<p>I am on financial aid right now I am pretty young as well I’m 20 right now and will have my BA by 21 and I really want to Persue acting.
I called FSU admissions by the way and they told me I need to have a drivers license and a bill on my name for a 1 year only to have in state tutition.</p>
<p>Are you guys saying I shouldn’t go to college after I get my BA at all or go work in FL for a year and return to college in FSU legally with in state Tuition?</p>
<p>Definitely finish your business degree where you are. If you can get an internship with an entertainment company, you can learn about the bottom-line side of the business, which can give you a foot in the door. Well, maybe a toe or two.</p>
<p>If you think you want to get a degree in acting, go to the section of this website that deals with majors, and read the theater major section.</p>
<p>A BFA takes 4 to 5 years and offers intensive training. Depending on the program, your CUNY classes may or may not transfer. An MFA will take 2 to 3 years and will have prerequisites for admission.</p>
<p>If you are dying to go to FL as an undergrad for a semester, pick up the phone and call the exchange program office at your CUNY and find out if you qualify. You might need to take a semester off, or drop down to part-time studies so that you don’t actually graduate from your CUNY before you have done your “semester away”. Some colleges and universities will allow a “guest senior semester/year” where you finish up the requirements for your degree program at the other college/university, but return to your home institution for graduation.</p>
<p>If that can’t be worked out, or is just too big a hassle, finish your degree where you are. Move to FL and live with your cousin while you job hunt. Get a job, establish in-state residence, and if you still want to pursue a BFA or MFA in the future, apply for admission then. Depending on the structure of the program, your first BA might cover all of the gen eds and electives for a BFA leaving only the acting-specific coursework.</p>
<p>i dont rely on my parents really, i have been working since i was 14 both of my parents are disabled me and my older brother have been taking care of them for a while, i have saved up some money but i wouldn’t want to blow it all on college. Financial aid currently covers all my CUNY payments as you can see Brooklyn College is fairly cheap only $2,000. A friend of mine is trying to persuade me to go to Albany SUNY instead, but i really am drawn to the hotter climate.
