@PrdMomto1 I understand and agree with you but I hope you understand from my perspective, there is only so much I can do with the situation I’m in due to reason I don’t want to talk about on the internet. With two routes I see in front of me, one says a crap ton of student loan debt but good relationship with parents and the other says not a lot to no student loan debt but horrible relationships with horrible parents and being ruled a disgrace by them. I can’t get the better of the two roads so I really don’t know what to do. This is just another thing to worry about that I don’t want to along with the stress of what college I’m gonna get into.

Well, if you go to a school that requires you to take on that type of debt you will be certain of one thing…it will have a wide ranging impact on your life for a long time, measured in decades.

For example, that level of debt will limit where you can live, you may not be able to buy a house, you won’t be able to take a risk for a job (like joining a start up or starting your own business), some people won’t date/marry people with debt that high, etc. etc.

Further, if you choose the route with debt, there is no guarantee you would have a good relationship with your parents…are you sure they wouldn’t find fault with you for some other reason? Are you sure you wouldn’t resent them? Etc.

Take the road without the debt. Attend CC and transfer, or attend an MN directional school as many have noted above. Then, see if you are able to build a better relationship with your parents.
