<p>Hello! </p>
<p>I live in the Seattle area and am considering New College. I feel like it would be a great fit for me academically and socially, and its affordability is definitely a plus.
Is there anyone on here who hails from the Pacific Northwest who could speak to the move and adjustment to Florida? What is different? What surprised you? Has it taken a lot of getting used to? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Question - affordability? I believe it costs over 30,000 a year for out of state.</p>
<p>Affordability is relative. Within the last month New College of Florida has been ranked the #3 “Best Value Public College in America” for 2012 by The Princeton Review, and #5 in the annual list of the 100 best values in public colleges published by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.</p>
<p>Many of the other colleges I am looking at, colleges comparable to New College, are closer to 50k, so yes, it’s a relative affordability.</p>
<p>actually, its only around $26,000- $27,000 for out of staters. VERY affordable.</p>
<p>My sister attends NCF (we live 40 minutes down the way…) but one of her acquaintances is from Seattle. </p>
<p>I’d be more than happy to send you a facebook link for her profile so you can ask her some questions. she’s transitioned very well and REALLY loves florida.</p>
