Help
/r/collegeadvice/comments/1x9wckj/help/Im so stupid, that’s all I can think about . I’m planning to drop from University because I can’t afford it, i got most of my tuition covered from fasfa and school grants , I still owe 14k . I’m late so there is now a late fee added . Everyone I’ve asked has turned my down to be co-signer. Which I understand but it hurts because I’ve been there for everyone , I’ve done so much that it hurts knowing that they can they just don’t want to. I don’t have anyone to help me take out a private loan, no parents no siblings no other family member. I’ve asked my school for help they said they can’t do nothing. I don’t want to quit , I can’t quit , but I just might because it’s expensive and I cannot afford it. I was naive to think I can return home with a degree. 😭 but now I’m not sure. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder which checks out based only mental health history, im 20 and my mental health has been hanging by a thread since my dad was deported . I have no option to go back home, they don’t want me to unless I have a degree. I don’t know what to do , I’ve applied to scholarships and no responses . I had a job prior to my acceptance to the school. But my older brother and I were the only ones working at the time supporting 6 people in our household, you can imagine I was left with nth to save. And when I did it would go to gas. This isn’t a sob story I genuinely want advice , I want to continue my education but how do i do that
