• Answer:

  You might do better to live here for a year and then start college. Once you are accepted as an out-of-state student, you will always be considered an out-of-state student. The cost of living is really high here in Miami, and jobs are not that easy to come by. Miami is one of the hardest hit cities in the country in foreclosures and the unemployment rate is higher here than the national average. That being said, Miami is an awesome place to be! If you have the right mind set to work hard and set goals to go to school... you never know what good luck will come your way!
