<prompt> Human: Due to a lot of personal and financial reasons, my parents have decided they will no longer pay for my college. I attend USC, with a tuition of nearly 70,000 a year. Currently, under my parents, I have a tuition break that requires us to only pay 34,000 a year. I am committed to finishing school here as I am already in my second semester of my sophomore year. My parents have babied me up to this point with regards to paying for school and I have no idea how to proceed from this point. What should my plan of action be now to continue to pay for school? Note: my tuition break gets re-evaluated every 2 years so how much I need to pay for on my own next semester is uncertain, especially considering I will be there on my own. I have no idea what to do.  <response>: Does that tuition break still apply? Whether youre going to owe 68k total to finish, or 280k total, is definitely what should be the deciding factor on whether or not you do.
