<prompt> Human: This is going to be my second year in college. I am renting a house with two of my friends. I was planning on looking for a job when I got there, now I definitely have to. Ive got a couple thousand saved from a summer job and in savings but I dont know how I will be able to pay for school- its out of state- and I dont think I qualify as independent because they paid for school in the spring. I also have some upcoming medical bills and I dont know if my parents are keeping me on their plan or not. Im not sure why they decided to do this last second, my mom is texting me and saying that its going to help me learn how to be independent, this is all out of the blue. Im really upset and I dont know what i can say to change their minds.How do I go forward? Can I apply for a loan? I really dont want to drop out as I have enough credits to graduate in my third year and ive already sacrificed a lot to get to the school of my choiceUpdate: So I talked to my parents tonight, as long as I can work full time they said that they can pay for whatever is left over, and Im looking into a program where i can get some credits from the local community college for a lot less money than the class would cost at my university. So, I think I can make this work for now, Ill be working a lot but its definitely worth it. Thank you for all the helpful comments! Assistant: Did you do FAFSA? What was you financial aid package? At this point you are going to have to take out loans to keep going.Human: I filled out FAFSA but my parents make a lot so my loans and aid dont amount to much, a couple of thousand per year. Obviously every bit helps but its a fairly small fraction of the total cost  <response>: Are you past the loan window? Speak to your financial aid department to find out what debt products you qualify for right now. Past that, ask them what their advice is for students in your situation. Its likely that this isnt the first time theyve seen this nonsense play out.How much money do you need to get from where you are now to graduation? How much do you earn from your side job?
