Advice needed for 1 unit classes and private loans

Not sure how short you are but,if a part time job won’t fill the gap, you really can’t afford the school.

I haven’t been able to get a job here (and I applied to a LOT), so that’s why. It’s about $8,000 due for the first quarter/semester. Being an out-of-state student (living with parents) is why it’s high, but after my freshman year, I plan on applying for resident status so I would have to pay very little.

Are you sure you can get in-state rates at a CA college after a year of college? I’ve read that it’s very tough to do. Maybe check with @auntbea. I think she’s from CA and will know for sure.
