<p>1) “Are you saying that your parents aren’t going to contribute anything for college?”
I honestly don’t know. They didn’t pay for my sister’s college. I still need to have a talk with them about that. However, I am trying to look into options that won’t require financial assistance from my parents.</p>
<p>2)“You can borrow $5500 with a federal student loan. The rest would have to come from summer income money, parent money and ???”
You tell me. There are hundreds of thousands of students every year who attend fairly expensive universities. I’d like to think that there is a good portion of them that manages to find a way to pay for school (Because there is no way that all of those students get all of their tuition/other expenses paid for through merit-based/need-based scholarships).</p>
<p>3)“So how would you cover the gaps during the later years?”
Aren’t you supposed to be helping me find options that would allow me to do accomplish this?</p>
