Moving to Florida soon any suggestions??
okay well im in NY currently and I will be moving to Florida in about 6 months. I will have a secure job down there while I go to college, and was just curious if theres anything I should know. Thank you for your time and consideration 
and i mean anything…from what to bring, and if you live in Florida, what to expect…i just cant wait for college next semester
p.s. I have visited Florida many many times, but for only 2 weeks at the max and yes I have been there through 1 hurricane and 4 tornadoes I do realize that the nice weather can take a turn for the worse, but Im as prepared as Im ever going to be lol…anywhooo, any information would be great ohh, and by request of my parents, I have a "safety" net saving of ,000 just in case I need to pay for extra things
ohhh and also, how do you go about getting Florida residency and do I need to get new plates for my car? If so, I imagine Ill have to take another road test…any answers would be great thank you
yeah i was planning to move to upper florida, kinda towards the west or smack dab in the middle :p

Please specific where in Florida you wanted to be. I would advice upper central florida as in orlando or any west coast… south florida is real bad So far the unemployment in florida is 11%. Not trying to scare you or anything. but Gainesville its pretty nice. Btw we just received some freezing weather in florida low in the 30′s for 2 weeks a rare cold .But for you’re Tag just fo to any dmv or better yet look on the intenet and schedule a appoinment is much better than beening in the crowd waiting for excessive hours . Last thing if you an outer state resident for college be prepared to get slanned with high tuition ans fee and etc. you can go to craigslist.org to find a place to live i’m sure its less than NY

You might want specify where in Florida you are going to be in.
As for plates and registering you car, just head to a local DMV and they can help you with that and yes, you need to get them, usually within a certain amount of time or you can get a ticket. The general residency rules are that you are a resident after living there for one year and one day.
