<prompt> Human: Sorry for the format as well as writing a long post. Long story short, my parents urged me to go to Emory because its one of the best school in the country and what not. I was excited at first until I received my financial aid package. Even taking into account all of the grants and work study offered, Well still be about 6-7k in debt. College counselor told me we can take out a loan up to 5.5k and just pay off the rest ourselves. The problem is that my parents combined have a total income of about 26k, as well as my older brother already in college, and my younger sister going in 5 years. Neither they nor myself know how well find the money to pay for all of this, but they keep reassuring me that everything will be ok, and that I should just focus on my education there. My dad said hell probably have to take a loan out on the house or sell it in order to pay but I really dont want him to because they recently just finished paying for it. Hes also hoping that once my older brother graduates he gets a job and help pay as well, but I feel that it sucks for him because he has to spend his first couple paychecks paying for me when he could spend it on himself.Basically, I feel really uncomfortable going knowing that everyday my parents will struggle paying for me to even be there. But every time I bring this issue up my college counselor and parents just keeps telling me that a degree from Emory will open up a lot of doors for me, and that a degree in computer science the major i picked is going to easily help me pay off the loans.They keep telling me that Im too worried about the present when the future is worth it all, but honestly I cant help myself. How am I supposed to enjoy myself there knowing that my parents probably had to cut tons of expenses and work even more just for me? Theyre working their tails of for one out of three children. It really sucks and I feel bad. I tried applying to outside scholarships but Ive been rejected from all of them. I have an internship starting next month that will pay me 750 at the end of 4 months. I was planning on buying new glasses and some clothes with the money and putting the rest in a savings account. Currently I have 360 in a checking account and 120 in savings. Is there hope for our situation or will my parents really struggle for 4 years paying for all of this?  <response>: Its time for you to get a job that will accommodate your school schedule. Weekends, nights, work study, whatever. You can easily make enough and possibly leave school with zero debt. Youd be in a great situation.
