<prompt> Human: Background: Im a 19 year old college student. I was thrown out of my house at 17, and I started community college while working part-time instead of finishing high school. I completed 45 credits towards a degree and was thrown out again. I spend a couple months living with friends for free, then got a full-time job on top of my part-time job and rented a room for around 500 per month. After a family emergency, I left both jobs and my room, and moved 200 miles away. Now Im staying with distant relatives because I have nowhere else to go, and am attending classes at a 4-year Private college. Tuition is estimated around 61,500 a year, I only went to this school because I wasnt accepted anywhere else. I managed to cut down the cost to around 15,000 by registering for only this Spring semester, taking part-time classes, living off campus, not buying textbooks, etc. My financial aid package was supposed to be 6500 in deferred federal loans plus a 5000 scholarship. I have about 2000 in savings, so I thought this would be reasonable. The deadline for withdrawal with a 100 tuition refund passed a few days ago, and this morning I received an email from the office of financial aid stating that I couldnt receive my scholarship because I was a part time student. This wasnt mentioned in my financial aid award letter. I also went to the office of financial aid at the start of the year, and specifically asked if changes in the amount of credits I took would impact my financial aid package. I was incorrectly told that it wouldnt. I was registered as a part-time student when my financial aid was calculated.Im not currently working, but if I started working full-time immediately, I still wouldnt have enough money to pay off the 9,000 or so dollars that are due to this school. My question is this: If I drop out now during the 50 refund period, I will owe 7500. If I stay and complete the credits without paying, I will owe the full 15,000 cost once I dont register for classes in the fall. If I go up to full-time credits, I can receive my scholarship, but my financial aid wont otherwise change and the total tuition owed will go up to around 22,500, meaning that Id owe even more than if I stay part-time without a scholarship. I have absolutely no idea what to do, I didnt realize Id get so screwed over by financial aid, and now Im worried Ill end up with a massive student loan I cant pay off and no money to show for it. I dont have any credit history, I have no one to cosign on a loan with me, and Im not employed. I realize how weird my situation sounds, the familyliving circumstances Im in are very complicated, and Im not receiving support from either parent. Does it make more sense to cut my losses and drop out, and focus wholeheartedly on paying back the 7500 I owe, or should I finish out the semester? Or go to full time and rack up even more debt, but get more credits to show for it? Any advice on what to do in this situation would be incredibly helpful.  <response>: If I drop out now during the 50 refund period, I will owe 7500Yeah, do that. And quickly.Signing up for a college with 61,500 a year tuition is not good at all, especially for anyone with a history of dropping out of easier programs. And the place keeps changing the financial terms on you, theyre just in it for the money. You would end up way over 200,000 in debt, thats exactly the college debt horror story everyone is complaining about! Stop now before its too late.And the excuse of wasnt accepted anywhere else is ridiculous.
