My only question is would I be able to pay the tuition through student loans as my family is currently not in the position to help me with college?












This is the real problem.

You are a citizen so you can apply for aid using FAFSA. BUT…you can only borrow $5500 for the entire year. So I’m not sure that you can afford ANY school in the US. You certainly can’t afford summer school. You can’t borrow your way thru school. You’d end up with way toooooooo much debt.

The only way to borrow more (which is not a good idea) is to have your parents co-sign loans or have them take Plus loans (which would be THEIR loans, and they would have to be citizens).

Are you saying that your parents won’t pay for any of your college? And it sounds like you don’t qualify for any scholarships.

How did you expect to pay for the four years of college?
