<prompt> Human: College is not close enough to any towns to walk or bike to a job. My parents are on gvmt healthcare also, too poor to get a private coverage and parents policies stopped covering me shortly after I graduated HS. Are there any alternatives to just trying to scrounge up this money or should I be scrambling right now to get together any sort of money I can?  <response>: Many colleges offer student health insurance plans; talk to your financial aid office, you may be able to apply for university coverage it maymay not be cheaper, but it could be billed along with tuition, and possibly subsidized.Does your school have any sort of student counseling services? These are designed to guide you through these adult issues you might be facing for the first time-- they may be able to direct you to the appropriate government assistance programs.After that, youre going to need to look for a job. Student jobs tend to pay well for minimal work-- ask around, you should be able to land something part-time, maybe even study at the same time library helpdesk, filing, etc.
