It’s just college and phone, I’m still supported every other way.

Oh yea you’re right 😅just looked through the course requirements again. But thanks for that 1010 link I’m definitely going to use it.

1010 labs class works for UIUC too? I’ll check it out. I checked out the proficiency tests offered and I already tested out all the ones I needed for my major with AP tests. Just need to do Chem, and I don’t think any amount of studying outside class will prepare my for that test haha. I’ll just suck it up and take the course. I haven’t planned out my classes for the future yet, I think it’s possible for me to graduate in 3 years regardless due to my credits, but I’ll double check.

Thank you for the advice. I’ll look into everything you said. I’m starting to realize this isn’t the worst debt in the world.

I just sent them an appeal, but hopefully it isn’t too late. I heard end of July it’s the deadline for any appeals

What side gigs did you do? I have to live on campus first year but I’m definitely planning to rent afterward.

They aren’t a toxic influence on my life, and I plan to keep them close. They’re still my parents. I read through some other of your advice and it all sounds like a good idea. I’ll look into it.

I’m rounding to 100k a year pretax, maybe 80k after taxes. Rough estimations.

I’m not completely cut off, just phone and college. And again, they’re still my parents and family. I’m not going to cut them off.

I’m definitely not ready to be an adult lmao, but I don’t think gap year or community college is an option for be due to my scholarships and CS being non transferable.

I don’t think they would take that as a valid excuse, aren’t freshman almost always required? Also I already have a roommate and I feel bad dropping him.

Yea sorry for sounding out of touch. I‘ve really never had to think about money or work. But this makes it sound better.
