If you are strongly considering USF, check out the raise.me site where you can earn micro scholarships for different things like grades, perfect attendance, volunteering...Not every college participates but USF does so if you want a little extra money, it's a good way to get it.

Pretty early in the journey your community will exist beyond a single project repository. Contributions will be spread across multiple repos. People will follow you on Twitter or join your Discord server (I created ours today, come join us!). Being hyper-focussed on a single project risks missing the forest for the trees. Success then brings its own challenges: there's a lot of activity, too much to guarantee... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
