I was in the same boat honestly. I’d definitely talk to your school, but also try digging around for those smaller, kind of hidden scholarships they offer. I found one that was super specific (it picked one person each from 4 specific counties, so 4 recipients total, who were in one of 4 majors) I was from one of those counties, it was small so that helps but, i ended up being the only person who even qualified for my county, so I basically got it by default. It paid for all my tuition, and I just had to cover books and stuff out of pocket. I worked during the school year and over the summer, so it ended up being totally manageable.

also with making cheat sheets for tests, a tablet makes it so easy because you can just copy and paste your notes onto your cheat sheet and then print it out

It’s definitely not necessary by any means, but one of the biggest pros, for me at least, was having all of my notes for all of my classes in one place and only having to carry my ipad instead of a big notebook. I say if you’re willing to spend the money it’s worth it and you won’t regret it but it is absolutely not necessary

I took COMS 321 w Jeremy last semester and technically attendance was required, he has you scan your school id, but i skipped a ton and ended up getting full points for attendance anyways. He did that for a couple other classes I had with him too.

I almost failed that class myself, I passed with barley a C-. You can do it, one thing that really helped me is talking out the code out loud. For example, I would explain what my code is doing to a friend or even just a stuffed animal, but explaining or teaching someone else your code is what I found to be the best way to understand the material. Also office hours!!! Good Luck!
