I haven't posted in a while
I found out a while back that my dad no longer plans on helping me pay for school. I hope to squeeze a degree out in two years. I'll bet it's going to be three though. So I have a question for you: (Which requires some explanation:I am not eligible for financial aid until April, when I get a new tax return.) Since my dad is no longer going to pay for anything would you take out a student loan and pay the full amount for the spring semester then get financial aid for the following semesters or would you take the semester off so you wouldn't owe so much money? I am leaning towards the first option because I would be lost if I didn't go to school everyday. (Not literally of course, I would adjust.) But would this adjustment be a bad thing and cause me to not want to return to school? I want to finish school as soon as possible so taking a semester off seems contradictory. But I am also poor and will not have lots of money. Also does anyone now where I could go to get a student loan? My work doesn't offer good ones and I've heard that I should go to a bank and not a credit union. Is there any truth to this? I want to major in anthropology and sociology at UHCL but I've also noticed that for only 9 hours more I could major in political science. I just want a degree.
