<p>I went to college in the fall of 2012 but dropped out after one semester due to financial reasons. Now, I am attending another university and I am expecting a child and living on my own with my boyfriend. I was looking at my financial aid for next semester and was wondering if changing my status to independent would increase my financial aid. Going back to college was a last minute decision so all I qualified for was the Pell grant and 2 loans. I only went part time so I managed it last semester but I want to go full time this coming Spring semester. My major is nursing if that changes anything. Anybody have any ideas to increase my aid?</p>
