Winter Park is one of the nicest parts of the Orlando area, and if you can find something affordable you should be fine just about anywhere close to Full Sail.
I had a friend that lived in the apartments across the street (Semoran) from Full Sail (with the street names Prince Charles and United Kingdom), and he had nothing but good things to say about the complex. If there is any opening there, get that place--it is really nice. I believe there are some cheaper apartments just south of the parking lot, but there are also plenty more to be had--go shopping for apartments if you can.
Like I said, that part of town is very nice as far as the environment and people. I would avoid anything too close to the airport (I would advise you live north of Colonial Drive for that part of town), and avoid anything to with Orange Blossom Trail (commonly known as OBT).
Worst comes to worse, you can always find someone living near UCF that needs a room mate. It may have a bit of traffic, but the campuses are so close that there shouldn't be an issue--just pick a part of town that is north of Colonial and the airport and away from OBT*.
PM me about any questions, I've lived in the Orlando area for most of my life!
*OBT is commonly associated with prostitution. If anyone ever tells you that someone is working the stop signs at OBT, well...you know :X
Thanks for the information. I'm currently laying in a bed in some awful motel in georgia taking it easy before my last push into florida. TL shirt is on and im hoping for the best!
