Featured Review: Sophomore says UCF has versatile multimodal class types, which is very convenient. Many courses are offered in person or online, and typically there are many different time slots, paces, and professors to choose... A very useful amenity that UCF supplies is free writing tutors. Any paper, draft, or outline can be professionally reviewed by the Writing Center's staff, as they provide feedback and suggestions... Additionally, UCF has fantastic advising staff. In three sessions, my advisor was able to help me plan my next four semesters of courses in a systematic way! With understanding and communication,... I am very happy with my choice to attend UCF, and would recommend it to anyone!.

Cheapest Colleges in Florida by Out of State Tuition
If you're looking for an affordable university in Florida but aren't a state resident, these are the least expensive out of state colleges to consider. Additionally, if you are a foreign citizen and cannot qualify for in-state tuition, these are the cheapest universities in Florida for international students.
Affordable doesn't simply mean finding a school with a low published out of state tuition. It's important to research the typical financial aid package offered by a school, the average net price actually paid and most importantly the quality of education you receive for your tuition dollar. Sometimes a school which appears cheap based on list price can be a poor relative value if it can't award competitive financial aid or doesn't offer a quality education. The list below is a ranking on published out of state tuition with no consideration of actual average price paid or academic quality of the school. Please see the CollegeCalc best value colleges in Florida list for a ranking which considers school quality and average net price.
