Funcionarios de la Lotería de Florida dijeron que los 2 boletos ganadores de $494 millones del viernes se compraron en Florida y California. Y a solo unas semanas después de que el huracán Ian causara daños devastadores en Florida, alguien en Fort Myers se ha ganado muchos millones. El boleto ganador en Florida fue comprado en un 7-Eleven en Colonial Boulevard. El ganador tiene 6 meses para reclamar su premio, pero solo 60 días a partir de la fecha del sorteo para elegir la opción de un solo pago en efectivo… y eso sería $123.95 millones. [Fuente]
2023’s Best Colleges in Florida
A new study by WalletHub shows the 2023’s College & University Rankings across the United States. It's a big decision. Consider on average, tuition and room and board at a four-year college costs around $23,000 - $52,000 per year. It varies depending on the school’s public or private status and whether it’s in-state. Even with the new program that eliminates 10 grand in student loan debt, you may still be taking out some serious loans. Additionally, enrolling in an in-state college is much more cost effective. Let's check out the best colleges in the state of Florida.
To determine the top-performing schools at the lowest possible costs to undergraduates, WalletHub compared more than 900 higher-education institutions in the U.S. across 30 key measures. The data set is grouped into seven categories, 1) Student Selectivity. 2) Cost & Financing. 3) Faculty Resources. 4) Campus Safety. 5) Campus Experience. 6) Educational Outcomes. 7) Career Outcomes. The metrics range from student-faculty ratio to graduation rate to post-attendance median salary. WalletHub’s Best Colleges ranking also analyzes post-attendance metrics — the student-loan default rate and the share of former students out earning high school graduates, for instance — to show the value of the education students can expect to receive beyond their undergraduate studies.
