FKCC is a joke, and living in Key West will drive you nuts. It's the junkiest and most expensice city in Florida.

Are there any universities near Key West that you would recommend?

Sorry,

There is only the local Community College mentioned above. You would have to go to Miami for a 4 year or post graduate school.

People generally don't move to Key West to start a traditional career. Unless you want to run a small motel, work in a bar, cater to homosexual clientel, sell tourist trinkets, or sell jokes for a dollar down on the Pier, it ain't the place I'd be moving to thinking about raising a family. Don't get me wrong, I used to enjoy visiting Key West, but you can't understand Key West unless you spend some time there. One thing is for sure, there is nowhere else in the world like Key West.

If I were wealthy enough not to have to work and wanted to live in the Keys, I'd choose to live on Big Pine Key.

I agree! The Keys is an awesome vacation destination but to live there is a whole different story, Basically you have to own a business to afford property.

The Universities of The Conch republic, thats a great idea! we could get the professor James Buffet to teach the art of margarita technology. you could get an AA degree. ok this is a joke
