Hi all,

I’m planning on transferring to another school (I’ve applied to six) and all of them are OOS because the degree I want to pursue is not offered anywhere in my state. I’m confident I will get into at least one of the schools I want to transfer into. HOWEVER, the financial thing is what I think will prevent me from transferring.

My parents don’t want me to transfer for obvious reasons (absurd costs) but it’s not like they’re paying for my current schooling anyway. I have a part time job and got private student loans to pay the difference of what my parents won’t pay. They’re cosigning the loans though. They won’t cosign once I transfer schools. What should I do?

I’m 18 and thinking of getting a student credit card from my credit union to build credit so maybe I have a higher chance of getting loans but I really have no clue how this whole thing works.
