Going to college without parental financial contribution. What to do?

<p>Is there any chance that you have a specific learning disability that you have not reported to us that your parents are aware of, and that is part of the reason why they aren’t certain that you are ready to live on your own? If that is the case, then do sit down with them and have a calm discussion about what steps you need to take in order to be ready to move out. If you make a concerted effort to develop your independent living skills while commuting first to the local CC and then to the UM-TC, by the time you do graduate your parents will almost certainly be more than willing to let you live on your own then!</p>
