Hillsborough Community College

I just applied. Going to get in-state tuition in Florida, which is so hard to do! I'm so excited! Two years out of school and I'm finally in again. Can't wait. I'm just going to take two classes. Can't really afford much, but it's a start. Hope it helps my immigration status also, since I have a master hearing in September. Wish me luck!

Hey, good luck. And you're right, two classes is a start.

Congratulations! an education is something no one will ever take away from you.

so, if you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to get in state tuition in FL ?

Congratulations! You should be really proud. I also want to know how you got in state tuition in Florida

Some one from United We Dream: Tampa Bay helped me. Since I live with a US Citizen (I'm pretty sure it could be a resident) and I'm under 24, I could use his driver's licence and voters registration number or vehicle registration (I only needed two of three). I said I was a ResidentAlien I believe, they asked for a number and she said to just put 7 zeros instead and they accepted my online application. I'm so excited!

I told my brother, who is 23, that he should really try to get in too with the help on my oldest brother who is a resident, so we could both go to college. I hope he tries. He's been out of school for 5 or years, so he's pretty depressed and says "what for?" I encourage him, but I don't know. Any tips for him? He brings out the "no money" issue. But he could only take one class. At least to be in the system already for in state.

We'll see how it works out with him. :/
