In Orlando, the main school is UCF (stands for You Can't Finish or University of Central Florida).
UCF is a public college and there is many private universities but because you mentioned community college I wanted you to have the names of them. There is Valencia Community and Seminole Community College. An option for you may be to move here to the area and then claim residency after 6months. This is what I did and don't regret it because #1 it was cheaper but #2 because it gave me the time to get use to the area and decide if I liked it enough to stay and pay for schooling.

Here are the big three Universities & Community Colleges and their websites in Orlando:
University of Central Florida (State University)
http://www.ucf.edu
Valencia Community College
http://www.valenciacc.edu
Seminole Community College
http://www.scc-fl.edu
The University of Central Florida (UCF) is the BIG local state-level university with currently over 45,000 students. The big main campus is located in East Orlando. The big local community college is Valencia which has several campuses in Orlando, and Seminole is the second big community college which is north of Orlando. Most of the local nightlife is in Downtown Orlando as well as the tourist areas like Universal CityWalk and Downtown Disney.

It actually depends on what you are going for... I moved down here from Jacksonville because I wanted to go to school for music production and Jville doesn't offer that program... So I decided to come here to Valencia Community College. So if you just want to move to Florida for school, I recommend Jacksonville first because its a nice size city with a lot less traffic than Orlando and the cost of living is a little less than what it is in Orlando

Orlando is night life. If you cannot find it there, give up. The only real decent CC in O-Town is Valencia. Beautiful campus, great courses and good teachers.

Well, i wouldn't go to Orlando. The cost of living there is Crazy. You could try a little north and try Gainsville. It's a huge college town, but the cops are asses.

In downtown disney (in no way like disney, only a boardwalk) there's a eating position it extremely is fairly strong. it really is called the living house of Blues, and in case you flow to downtown disney, you walk previous the tremendous circus on your left, the arcade on the right, and the eating position should be taking area in music. Order ahead, even if, because it is going to likely be packed. it really is no longer nightlife, yet they do have alcohol at dinner.
