<prompt> Human: Hey Personal Finance. So Ive applied to a few schools over in the United Kingdom, and I havent applied to any in the United States.I didnt apply to any US schools as my parents were going to help me with the financial aspect of going to the UK As I understand it, you can only get loans to go to the UK if you use the FAFSA. And they wont cover the entire tuition.Ive been accepted to a few schools, but the basis is that I wont be able to afford the tuition. Also, my mother said that if I dont get into college I wont have a place to live come graduation.Basically Im very confused on what I should and shouldnt do. I want to attend the University of Essex for Computer Science. I plan on getting my Bachelors there. Please help.Assistant: Fill out the FAFSA with your parents if indeed the UK even uses FAFSA, call the schools and ask what your options are for financial aid, consider and when I say consider, I mean really take a look at your options, do your research, weigh the pros and cons, and be realistic about your future salary taking out loans.Or you could go to a local community college for a year or two, get all the general education credits out of the way, then transfer to a city or state collegeuniversity again, paying for tuition with a combination of financial aid, scholarships, and loans. I assume that you are from the US. Why do you need to go to the UK for college?Edit: The website that you posted has this information -Have you taken a look at these and applied?Human: I was planning on going to the UK, which would have been fine had this not happened. I didnt apply to any US schools or I would be staying here now.  <response>: Community colleges and similar in the U.S. do not have the early application deadlines that more competitive schools do. You can still apply and go to school in the fall.Lets be clear: going to school in a foreign country is fantastically expensive. Tuition is higher and governmental support is lower. Without parental money its not going to happen for you.Start applying to local, inexpensive schools.
