<prompt> Human: My senior year of high school I was accepted into all 4 of the schools I applied to. My parents really wanted me to go to this private school. They really pushed for it but it was way too expensive. Then my parents said that if I went to this private school they would pay half of my tuition all four years. So I agree, even though the other schools I got accepted to were much better schools. But at the time it was the cheapest option to go there since they offered to pay half. I also was able to transfer in a year worth of classes from dual enrollments and AP classes. I go first semester and they pay half like they said and I take no loans the first semester. Then I get to financial check-in for second semester and they say they arent going to pay for any of my schooling anymore but would co-sign this semester. They also said the wouldnt co-sign on any loans after this second semester. They said if I didnt go back this semester I wouldnt be allowed to go home ever again. So I now have 16k in private loans and 0k in federal my parents efc is high. I told my dad to not claim me as a dependent but he did is taxes early and claimed me telling me sorry buddy Im still paying your bills though. I now have a bunch of classes that wont transfer anywhere else or help my dcp at another school due to half of the classes I took being bible classes. My parents told me that if I dont find a way to come back to this school next semester I will no longer be welcome at their house to live or to visit. Im stuck in this situation and I really dont know what the best option is. What should I do?  <response>: Go to another school. They werent truthful about paying - so I doubt they are truthful about no longer associating with you. Also, college a great time to start making your own life choices and not just follow what your parents want. Its your life - youre going to outlive them.
