Can’t afford college

[PuppyCatTeeth]

Federal loans aren't enough to pay for college and I have a 20,000 balance for school because of my dorm and meal plan. My only choice is to drop out cuz I can't pay it. But then I'm homeless what do I do.

I just found out one of my best friends has a tumor in her brain today also. I'm absolutely broken. How are people like me supposed to succeed in this country. My mind literally feels broken. I have no help

Does your school offer any sort of financial aid or assistance plan? Some can work with you if you're dealing with situations like this.

this life seems like it doesnt guarantee anything even if I spent a lifetime for a life to live I could still lose it at any moment and I still spent a lifetime :(. So what was all that for? the remaining years? This isnt life

this sounds like a really scary situation to be in, so sorry :(

What if you didnt live on campus, can you still finish college?
I think the bulk of your money is going to housing. Can you go back home?
I never did it so i may pronounce it wrong. Can you do work study?
Being homeless is a scary thing, trust me I've been there.
Maybe see if there are any shelters you can stay in if it comes to that.
I'm really sorry this is happening to you.

I'm in a very similar situation that you are. Brother, it sucks to know that people like us weren't meant to succeed

Everything can really get taken away in an instant. Things really suck

If I didn't live on campus I'd only owe 2,000. I could go back home but my dad is an abusive narcissistic and i left 2 months ago and really don't want to go back. Work study wouldn't cover everything. Everything seems so negative and hopeless

Do you know what you're going to do next?
