College Applications and Mental Sanity.

I am applying for a city college and a CSU college. Deadlines are due on the 30th. My half-brother/unofficial guardian wants me to go to city partly becasue I get my 1st year paid for due to a policy or program. I don't see myself going there. I can't see myself being happy there. I am tired of arguing with him over it. I've tried time and time again, but he won't budge. And I can't give up either. I want to go to a CSU. It will still be in the same city and I will still live at home. I can see myself being happy. I have an increased chance of getting in due to a policy or program. My grades aren't the best they can be, but last year 4 A's and 2 B's. Last semester, Straight A's. They still don't make up for the D's and C's I got Freshman and Sophmore year. (I had some A's and B's too) He's saying I don't have a chance. I want to at least try. And I will. However, for both colleges, there are questions that I need help answering, and I've been asking for help for weeks, but he just pushes it back a day. This morning, he tried to help me. I was lost on what I needed and he put the balme on me. "I should know what exactly I need". Well I don't know. A lot of the questions involves parental/guardian information. My parents are deceased. because of 1 question, I am an independent student. My half-brother isn't my guardian on paperwork. But don't I have to go on what's on paperwork? He doesn't know and he thinks that no one will check. But what if someone does? What would happen? I haven't submitted my information and I don't plan on it untill I have had my counselors check it. Here's my points. To the people that are in high school and are not yet Seniors, Start getting ready for it. It's not fun, but don't rush. Gather what you need 1st. Please Plan it. To the Freshman, DON'T Mess around. You don't want to fix it in summer school or have it ruin your chances. To the adults, What do I do?

  • I think you are better off going with the cheaper option. Those first three or four semesters tend to be very similar between Universities and community/city colleges, in terms of content. Depending on your income, considering your status as an independent student, a federal grant would probably cover your tuition and books for like six semesters at a community college, whereas two years at a university could force you into taking out loans.
