How can I afford college?

Well, you obviously need to get a job, and you can't really control when people will be hiring, so KEEP APPLYING! As for the train there, a rail card is a MUST because it will end up being much more expensive if you don't haveone than if you did. As for making money once you are there, I am pretty sure some colleges pay you to have your room used as the "sample" room when giving campus tours, and there are lots of jobs on college campus'. Good luck! :)
