You can"t go to this school, period. In fact, call right away because the longer you wait and the lower the odds they’ll refund you. Rip the bandage now and get that money back.
It’s awesome they admitted you and you are right to feel honored. You should always treasure that, it’s yours and no one can take it away from you. But you simply can’t go. Your parents won’t be approved for loans - and even if they could for the first year, do you realize how it’ll affect your entire family?

There are colleges where lower-income students’ families don’t have to pay anything.
Some of these are listed here, and some won’t even make you borrow the federal loans at all!

California has EXCELLENT public universities where you wouldn’t have to pay a cent for tuition. In other words, you wouldn’t have to put your parents in such a situation. There are several excellent public universities in California for art, too! So you wouldn’t compromise on your education nor your art.

Classmates who say they’ll borrow tens of thousands of dollars, etc, are just talking. Watch and see what happens by the time all decisions are in.
