top college to a top 100 college?

<p>Lately, money is running low in my family and I am need of help from experienced people. I think if you can look at my very first post, I've described it all out there and I don't think that I should give anyone vertigo by pasting my story again on this forum.
I am attending Cal right now and will be a sophomore come fall. Tuition is about 10k with me caring for family in the evenings. The reason why I am receiving no financial aid is because I am an international. However, I am eligible for instate tuition since I've lived here a long time. Any suggestions on how common folks get around these financial hardships? I know everyone goes through them, and not everyone receives grants and loans to pay off for college. </p>

<p>Thanks for your advices in advance.</p>

<p>No, everyone receives grants and loans to pay for college. You should try to take out as few loans as you reasonably can, but at modern tuition prices nobody can work their way through a 4 year college.</p>
