Is it wrong to go to college away when your family doesn't want you to?

Are you sharing your ID with someone? In November you said you’re a senior in a Catholic high school and you’d recently been admitted EA to your safety school (Temple) for journalism. In Dec. you said you’re 22 and you already have a journalism degree but are contemplating getting a master’s. Very confusing…

Anyway, with a 1750 SAT and 1120 CR + M score, I don’t know if you’ll get into USC or get $60k+ of need-based aid even if you do. I think you also said on one of your other threads that you’re low income with a 0 EFC and you’d be paying for everything yourself. I think, at most, you’ll have about $10k/year ($5500 student loan + about $5k Pell) to work with.

I think Temple is the cheapest school you’ve applied to (about $16k/year in tuition and fees if you can commute). Is that where you grandma wants you to go to live on campus? If so, how are you going to make up the $6k difference between the tuition costs and your Pell grant & student loan, and who’s going to pay the $10k+ for you to live there?
