Go to the school and meet with the financial aid people. Also, read some basic books or websites, like fastweb on student loans.
I think you mean FAFSA, not FASA
How old are you? If you’re under 24, colleges want financial info. from your parents and will base tuition costs on your parents’ state of residence. If your parents don’t live in NY, you’ll likely be considered an out-of-state student and will be charged the higher OOS rates.
If you’re 24 or older, you can probably get state residency, but there may be a waiting period and other requirements. Go talk to the college financial aid staff. They can help you understand your options.
Thanks 4 the help currently talking to someone thats helping :))
