Will it Blow up in my Face
Even though this is long will someone read this especially and adult and give your opinion.
I got into the college of my dreams my senior year but was unable to go because of the cost. But now i got readmitted and i feel i am still gonna be a little short on money so i feel i can go and commute see i know a girl that was looking for a roommate who attends spelman college and she put it up on the college campus website i had access to it because i was supposed to attend and i kept her as one of my facebook buddies and everything so i was thinking i could go up there and pay for the house with her and commute but i know my parents wouldn't go for that but if i were to do it any way would i be wrong. I will be 19 then and although i'm not grown to them i want to grow up and i want to go to atlanta i only have one life. I just don't want it to blow up in my face because everything i do goes down the drain. What do you think.

The best thing is to carefully look at your situation. Now if you move out and live with this girl you will then be able to afford to go becasue you will be under a grant based on the new income. This is your life and you have to make the decision on how to live it. This will not blow up in your face as long as you think about it carefully and slowly plan your moves. If you jump ahead to fast it won't work out. Usually finacial aide people are not that helpful so you shoudl talk to the distrct person. Someone higher upa nd they wil be able to help in any way to make the situation work.
As for your parents they can't control becasue you are an adult and you can make whatever choice you want. Just take it one day at a time and going higher than finacial aide by going to the deen or even the district person will help. I had the exact problem and I had to go over their heads in order to get my questions answered.

Nothing is going to blow up in your face here. If you cannot make the tuition payments on your own you ought to phone the school and ask how to apply for a student loan. Your state and or province (or school itself) would be more than happy to loan you the money you need to go to school.
They will also pitch in most of the time for an out of town student's living and food arrangements. Before panicking call the college's financial aid department and tell them your story. It could be as simple as that for having the money you need to attend and ive.
You have to be bloody careful when it comes to roomates on campus or off that you do not know. The person could be into drinking, drugs and partying and it could be impossible for you to study. You might be miserable as well if you two just aren't compatible.
If she moved out because of this you'd be stuck with making her half of the rent too as both your names would be on a lease. If you want to talk to her about the apartment take your parents to meet her as mom and dad can sniff out a bad influence or bad dea better than you can.
I think you need to approach financial aid at the school, ask for help getting an apartment or dorm room assigned to you (there should be a student residence unless the place is real small) and go about things that way.
Finally, if you can commute back and forth safely each day and it's not too far do it. You are 19-years-old and an adult. If you don't start caring for your own self or moving out when you have the ability to you won't later on. If you move out on your own the school can indeed give support financially there too.
So, to reiterate step one is to relax and step two is call finacial aid. Don't dispair as you will get there. You might have to find a job to support yourself and your dream as a worst case scenario or wait until next year.
If you had to wait until next year and withdraw from the college this year at least you would have time to earn more money. That's not going to happen though as I'm sure your situation will resolve if you make the call.
