<prompt> Human: Im a 17 year old that wants to go to NYU but my parents will likely not want to pay bc of two circumstances: Im bi and Im an atheist. They do not know, but I do plan on telling them when I move out.Parents make 75k-90k combined, but are struggling to pay mortgage etc anyways.I only have 300 saved for college. I try to urge my parents to save more, but they are convinced I can get a full ride and Ive heard NYU is stingy so I doubt itBasically, is there any way to pay off NYU or ANY college in general by myself? I plan to go for both undergrad then to med school either nyu or somewhere else to become a doctor maybe psychiatrist.  <response>: Based purely on your financial situation Id urge you not to attend me. While I do think I have a lot to offer students, its simply not possible for some people to enroll without seriously undermining their financial wellbeing.Some food for thought: taking a class at me will run you about 5,000.00. So as of now you can afford to take 6 of one class.If you absolutely must attend, then I recommend you attend a community college for at least two years prior to transferring. It will save you money in the long run.
