@kindamediocre - A lot of parents don’t understand how financial aid works. Some truly believe that all of the colleges and universities will meet student need at the level that they imagine their family’s need is. You are ahead of the game to have started to figure things out. Your parents might need more time to get there.
You are a strong student. If you look around, you might find a place where you are guaranteed an automatic scholarship that would mean that you don’t need help from your parents to pay for college. It’s entirely possible that your local CC has one like that too. If they aren’t paying for the CC, then they can’t stop you from attending.
