I am currently a freshman at UCSB and am now unsure if I still wish to attend because of the raise of tuition. My family does not qualify for anything but loans despite the fact that my mother is unemployed. It seems like my dad makes a lot, but he spends it all on the house/electricy/water bills. I should've gone to community college, but at the time I submitted my SIR, my mother was still employed. Now with the almost 10% increase of tuition, I think I should attend a community college then transfer out. So, how would I do this? Should I just stay at UCSB or transfer out next year? next quarter?

You should go to the FinAid office and talk to them about your new circumstances. They might be able to review your financial aid files and increase the financial aid package. There are forms for requesting financial reviews on the finaid's webpage.

I agree with unknown person. Sometimes there are special circumstances that will let you qualify like an unexpected job loss. Talk to financial aid first before you seriously consider transferring.
