Sorry to hear this, Xe.
Time to get a job, work, save some money, and only then go back to school. CC credits will save on $ too. And take out loans as others have sagely suggested.
Joining the Armed Forces Reserves will also help with cash once your enlistment is up, I believe. Can any of our veterans elaborate?
Give the semi-toxic relationship with your parents, you might want to consider moving out once you're established.
Long story short: I got into a huge, drawn out fight with my parents and they will no longer pay for my undergraduate schooling. I have to pay $15,000 for the Fall semester by August 20th. I'm thinking of taking a break and figuring out what to do. They said that I can still live with them, but I have to pay for everything - food, clothing, gas, car insurance, et cetera. This I can do, but I cannot afford an undergraduate education on my own. What am I supposed to do from here on in? Should I take out student loans and apply for merit aid at a state school? I'm completely lost and need guidance.
Repeat after me: "Mom and Dad, you were right, I was wrong, and I still and will always love you."
How do I get back on good terms with my parents so that they might reconsider paying my tuition? Things have cooled down a bit since the argument. I think today might be a good day to have a discussion about what to do going forward.
Well, this is felony. Your dad is lucky he's not in jail.
And him almost breaking my nose wasn't out of line because he got angry?
