Any advise will be highly appreciated!
Good News: I am accepted to Columbia college (NYC) class 2020!
Bad News: I'll need to come up with $42k/yr (for COA $72k) to make it happen
Worst News: My parents could only come up with $11k/yr from their income + saving ... $31k short every year for four years
details of the offer: Columbia grants = $26k; Fed grants = $4k (EFC 128); that's all.
both my parents didn't speak english well, let alone went to colleges. I'll be the 1st in our family. of course, I will ask Columbia, but want to get some ideas 1st.
btw - Columbia does NOT offer "student loan?"
I really appreciate your suggestions or ideas, particularly from people who went through this before.
Many thanks!
