<prompt> Human: Because of this I dont qualify for and federal grants or need-based scholarships, leaving me with 100k in college fees, and, assuming I get some merit scholarships and workstudy,at least 60k in loans which Im not even sure I can get. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do about this?  <response>: Go to a cheaper college? Start out at community college, make sure the credits transfer to a college program you want to graduate in. On top of that, make sure that the program you go into has good job placement and decent enough pay to repay loans.Also talk to the college you aim to get the degree from, tell them your plans and if they think itd work out the way you think it will.Look at this whole process as you paying them to make yourself employable.
