This students needs to TRY to find an affordable four year option FIRST. The danger of going to a cc after high school grad is that she won’t get adequate merit offers as a transfer.

Hopefully she will study hard and retest and boost scores.

In the meantime, apply to schools like UMaine Ft Kent. With your scores, you should get an amount of merit that will cover a bunch of your costs.

What is your major? Perhaps, the dept will also kick in some money.

My sister had other adults co-sign on loans.

@happymomof1 I studied a bit for this ACT but I am planning on taking it one more time. I will look through that thread- thank you! I would be able to stay at community college and get my associates in 6 months to a year but I am not sure the community college I would be attending would have the right kind of credits that would be relevant to my degree.

My sister dropped out of college after her sophomore year because the financial burden was too much. She is now working a full time job and two part time jobs in hopes of returning.

This is very sad. Your sister has cosigned loans that she now has to pay back without a degree! Btw…what do your parents think about all of this?
