<p>Do you know why they’re forcing you to go to one school? How far are you willing to go to go to the school that you want? Do you think that it would be worth it for the rift between you and your parents?
They can’t force you to do anything, but as before mentioned, they could not help pay for it. If you really want, you can file emancipation from your parents, and file for financial aid that way. However, unless you already have multiple serious problems with your parents other than education, I would not suggest you take that route. That is quite extreme.<br>
On the other hand, talk to your parents. Maybe negotiate something, such as they’ll pay for only 1/2 as much for the university of your choice than university of their choice. File for as many scholarship/bursaries/grant as possible, work your butt off now and during the summer, and take out loans if needed. Let them know that you appreciate their advice and concern, but in the end, it’s your life. Even if it’s a mistake, it is yours to make. There will be many more mistakes later on in life, and this, in the large scale of things, isn’t going to be a big one. You could always transfer if things don’t work out.</p>
