One question: College cost for me is too expensive($25,000+ in-state ) and my parents don't want to pay for it, so would I be able to get grants if I claim myself as an independent who makes almost no money?

YES, but correct me if I'm wrong, I think if you still live with your parents you're still a dependent. So you HAVE to put them on your FAFSA.

Damn when does school start for you guys? Mine will be her next week
^School starts Aug. 25th for me.
Free money, here I come.

EDIT: I didn't think it would be that easy to be considered an independent, so I did some quick research.
To be considered an independent, you must meet one of these criteria:
* be 24 or older
* be married
* have children or other dependents
* be a veteran of the US armed forces
* be an orphan or ward of the court
* possess a Bachelor's degree
I don't meet any of them...no free money for me.

Alright, cool. I'll probably be renting an apartment with a few buddies next year as a sophomore, so there would be no need to include my parents' info, correct?

When I was filing out my fafsa, It said that even though I don't live my parents I had to give them my parents tax info. And it said that I have to include myself as part of my parents household even though I don't live with them. smh! I think regulations and requirements vary between each state on whether you qualify or not.

My first year I got like $2,000-$2,300 each semester. My second year I got like $1,500-$1,900 each semester. And this semester I'm getting about $1,100.
This is after my classes and books are paid for of course. I've gotten pell grants each year, but I've been getting less each year.
