About Oakland Park, Florida
Oakland Park, officially the City of Oakland Park, is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. Originally named Floranada (a blend of Florida and Canada), the town was forced into bankruptcy after the hurricane of 1926. When the municipality reincorporated in 1929, residents chose to make it a city and voted for the name Oakland Park. Oakland Park is home to Funky Buddha Brewery.29] [30]. The brewery also supports many of the City's events, such as the annual Oakland Park Oktoberfest [1]. (Wikipedia)

Is it worth it?
A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.
- Median earnings (10 years)
- $18,116
- Typical debt at graduation
- $3,333
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 18%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- 9%
Typical debt would take roughly 1.8 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
