<p>What about all the Florida Grant programs and Bright Future’s, can’t I compute that into reducing the cost?
Also, I live in Broward County, and checking the website it says the requirement to live on campus for the first year does not apply to students living with their parents at Miami-Dade/Broward counties. So that seems like an option, but I don’t know if that means that being a local, I could rent an apartment even closer.

<p>Also, all these extra costs would only really apply for the first year, since because of my circumstances, my aid package was substantially less, so wouldn’t I get a much more generous aid package for the rest of the 3 years?</p>
