You're also probably eligible for all kinds of grants for school given your income, likely independent status from your parents, and the fact that you don't already have a degree. Some of these you will probably get for no reason when you fill out the FAFSA form that everyone fills out when they go to school.

This is a bad loving idea. Tuition for an in-state public school is hovering around $17,000 per year without room and board. Assuming another $1000/mo for rent, food, entertainment and transportation you are looking at nearly $30,000 per year to go to college. Unsub federal loans are at 6.8% interest. Even with a Pell grant this is going to be completely beyond your means, OP. Unless you are going for a hard CS degree like programming or a BS in engineering you are loving yourself over -- hard. Assuming you take 4 years to graduate and repay your loans over 10 years you are looking at $1400/mo every month for 10 years to repay your student loans. According to the DoE you will need an annual salary of ~$165,000 upon graduation to service your debt.

Don't go to college.
