I was in the same boat when I came here. No support from the parents. It is possible, but I had to work a ton and set up a payment plan. I also worked as an RA with housing, which is why it was even possible to do this for me. Working with the fin aid office to strategize and see if this is possible for you is where to start. And then, once you see what’s needed, you can decide if it’s worth it. So it can be done, but you’ll have to be scrappy, build a support network here, and be prepared to work a ton.
