Should I just rob a convenience store and get one for free in prison?

My God, do you people not understand satire? Do you really think that someone would be stupid enough to go to prison just for free college? I was trying to make a point on how murderers and rapists can get a free college education, yet kids with clean records have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for the same thing.

No. You shouldn't. You can go to school. It's not hard. Only if you wanted to. No one owes you anything. Don't think prison's are good or fun. They are not. You are not free or safe. I hope you are making a point of some kind. I'm glad the prisons are educating the kids they lock up. How else could they do any better when released. As for your current predicament. It's May, dead line's are either over or darn close to it. You need to apply for a Pell grant, and student loans. Get a part time job to pay for books. About 24 hours per week. Take 12 credits per semester. Start with an Associates Degree program. Proceede from there. One step at a time. Chill out. You'll manage. It's scary. I know. I don't know where you live, shop around for the best deal on an Associates program. There are some out in the middle of nowhere towns that are cheap for college kids to live. Plenty of jobs for you too. I went to Williamsport, PA. Pennsylvaina College of Technology. Susquehanna Valley and river nearby. It's such a great place. Go to the school's finanacial aid office. They will help you. If you have to work the summer save your pennies and go in the Fall. No worries. The school's will help you with the how. Just go. Check some out. If you need further assistance, I'll be happy to reseach it for you. Where do you live? E-mail me with details.
Take care,
Jen

Go to a community college for the first 2 years. In many cases you can get the same education you would at a 4 year university. Also check with your high school guidance office to see if you qualify for any scholarships. Every scholarship adds up! If you aren't able to pay talk to the school and as long as you submitted the FAFSA they can probably work with you!
