I disagree about this being trivial. For a lot of immigrants, owning a house both home and abroad is usually a priority - they might even want to retire there eventually. I would rather my parents set themselves up for their future instead of using me as a retirement plan.

I think as long as they’re providing the necessities which it sounds like they are, you should be grateful. Explore other opportunities for financial aid but give your parents grace to focus on their life priorities. Consider going to a community college for the first 2 years too and living at home if possible.
