Q:
How to pay for college with my unique situation.
I just got through reading the article "Student Loan Options in a Tight Credit Market." It all seems fine and good, but I don't think they covered my situation. Here's the deal in a nutshell.
-I've already been enrolled in college for three years now, and I want to change my major AND my school, meaning I'll have to go to school for another four whole years, and I need financial aid for all four years. As I understand it, FAFSA is only good for up to four years in a person's lifetime.
-Neither I, nor my parents have good enough credit for a private loan, or even a PLUS loan (we've tried).
So, basically, NONE of those options in that article are viable for me. What do I do?

I know that FAFSA last longer than four years. This is my fifth year in college and I am still getting it. As long as you are under 24 the info they go by is you and your parents taxes. Once you are over that age it is just up to your taxes. That is how it works. You should still get it. Unless you of your parents make to much.
