You need to get a number from your parents - and make them understand that you can’t go to college than cheaper it’d cost them to keep you at home… Do they know how much colleges costs?
For $35,000, you couldn’t attend Georgia Tech, for example.
If you want a smaller college, Hendrix is an obvious college to apply to for both Cs and creative writing.
If you’re willing to look at out of state colleges, look at Eckerd or Knox for writing, but I don’t know what they’re worth for CS. Same thing, but opposite, for UMN-Morris and South Dakota ST.
