how to pay for college if financial aid doesn't cover everything

If you don’t have the money for this college and you can’t make enough working to cover the gap then it just might not be affordable. Did you talk to anyone at ULL? Commuting may be your best option. You could work part-time while you go to school full-time or get a full-time job and take classes as you can afford them. Another option might be to defer for a year and work to save the money you need.
