<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but Im not really sure where else to put this.Basically, Im kind of in a tough spot in terms of going to college. I got into a good four year university in Boston Im a NYC, queens resident and did well there for the first semester 4.0 gpa, while working and doing extracurriculars. However, it costs me 20kyear, and I really dont want to rack up 80k of debt in four years. I was under the impression my parents were going to help me, but theyve basically backed out after helping with the first semester. I came back home for the second semester to deal with finances.Ive been thinking about potential options from here, and this is what I have so far:1. Transfer somewhere else - The problem with this is the best offer I got in terms of financial aid was from my current university, so I dont know where Id transfer to.2. Try and transfer instatego to a community college - The only problem I have with this is I cannot stay at home. Just being here for one semester is making me think the tuition was worth it.3. Apply to transfer, and try to leverage better tuition offers if I get any against my current college.At the moment, Im just working and trying to build up some money. Any advice? Thanks!  <response>: What are the costs for local colleges like SUNY or CUNY compared to the unnamed Boston school? The living expenses in Boston or New York are comparable, the education is probably comparable, so Id go with whatever option is lowest cost.
