Can i afford college?

okay so I'm 17 years old and my parents disowned me and now I'm living with distant relatives who really don't like me (in atlanta) and I want to go to college and major in forensics. I want to go to GA Perimeter and then transfer over to UGA. do you...

think I can afford this by myself if I work all summer and start in spring. do you think I can afford to pay for college, books, and a place to live with a part-time job while going to college? I have a 3.4 GPA but I think it's going to go down a lot this year (senior year) because I've been stressed out and I changed schools in the middle of the year in a different state. I also have a lot of family issues and I've been very depressed. I can't wait to be on my own, but I don't know if I can afford everything and I don't know if this is practical. please help me!!! thanks!!!

I think so...make sure you get financial aid/scholarships..that can cover the books and college... if you dont get enough to cover everything , start at a community college...I think also, if you get a job as a waitress, you can make goood tips ie: I hop ...trust me...that can help you with the rent...do not settle for a minimum wage job...go where the money is at...or go to a place with commission...I am a waitress and I make good tips, im going to a community college and it is helping me a lot...also make you can find a place for low income people to live...that can lower your rent...OR LOL...IF you GET A SCHOLARSHIP LIKE MY FRIEND DID, you CAN GO TO A COLLEGE WITH DORMS,AND MOST LIKLEY that SCHOLARSHIP WILL COVER THE COST OF your LIVING...THEN you JUST NEED TO BUY your FOOD,PERSONAL ITEMS, CLOTHES, ETC/...if you have any more questions for me, write me a letter on funmail...ill help you out =)

If you find a nice paying job, and you save up your money then yea. If not then you could get a student loan to help assist you.

Set up an appointment with a conselor at GA Perimeter and discuss you options they may be able to get you some extra assistance for School.

join the military they have programs so that they give you x amount of money for collage and u serve for x amount of time
