<p>*The tuition break isn’t the most important thing: I can find more scholarships to pay the other half myself. The problem is health insurance. That is hundreds a month which I would not be able to come up with since I’d be already paying my own housing and all that. *</p>
<p>Don’t kid yourself. It’s hard finding scholarships to pay for the other half. Most scholarships are for incoming freshmen, not for continuing students or transfers. </p>
<p>I’m not sure what the insurance rules are. If you will be completely self-supporting, the maybe your dad won’t be able to claim you on his insurance once you move out and transfer.</p>
<p>Why would you consider transferring? It sounds like a VERY unwise decision!</p>
<p>I think you are GROSSLY underestimating how much you’d have to work to pay for your year round housing/food expenses. Why would you want to jeopardize your grades or being able to graduate on time by doing that?</p>
