Congratulations and the best of luck in college! You've made the right decision and you won't regret it. Definitely work with your financial aid office. The funding is out there so take the initiative. If you do computers, search scholarships, grants and the like. Apply for anything you might be eligible for, you have nothing to loose.

I did my first few years of college part time while working full time to get the money. Sure it was tough but I'd do it again. My son is doing it the same way and he's doing very well. Keep all your options open and above all else, keep doing your research on funding.
