<p>I'm from Chicago, so I really need some guidance here:/
I'm going to major in nutrition.</p>
<p>I don't know much about either school!
USC offered me a 14,000 a year scholarship, but I could get in state tuition at FSU after the first year so they would end up costing me the same amount. I like that both of them are in the capitol cities.
Which one would I be better served to go?</p>
<p>I can only speak from experience, and FSU is an awesome school! and i have heard good things about their nutrition program actually lol. it has a strong following and great school spirit, along with a good general reputation. i dont know much about usc, but i highly reccomend florida state 
go noles!</p>
<p>Do you/did you go there?</p>
<p>I’m from WI and I also applied to FSU and got in but I got a HORRIBLE financial aid package. I only got $1,800 a year… What did you get? I really wanted to go there too</p>
<p>How do you get in state at FSU after the first year? Is it by doing Freshman Year Abroad or is there another way to accomplish this?</p>
<p>I went to FSU and had an awesome experience. Let me know if I could answer any questions for you.</p>
<p>Florida Residency Requirements for Tuition Purposes (from the Board of Governors, State Univ System of FL):</p>
<p>"Has the student (or the student’s parent or legal guardian if the student is considered dependent) established a physical presence in Florida for at least twelve (12) months immediately preceding the first day of residency for which Florida residency is sought?</p>
<p>"Has the intent of residing in Florida for the required minimum 12 month period been for the purpose of maintaining a bona fide domicile rather than for the purpose of enrollment in an institution of higher education? </p>
<p>“A student who comes to Florida to enroll full-time in a state university as an out-of-state resident and continuously enrolls in a state university will not normally meet the Florida residency requirements for in-state tuition regardless of the length of time enrolled.”</p>
