any school that meets 100% of demonstrated need will work for you

It may also be worth looking at your local community colleges to see what financial aid opportunities they offer for low income students

I dont think thats an option my parents might look down on me

Also the communkty college nearby is notorious for being disorganized

I mean if i went i would only take physics 1 and 2

I will probably have credit for calc 1 2 and 3

I mean, in this case you have to decide if it's more important to look good to your parents or to afford your education

Often times CCs will have 2+2 transfer pathways with state schools where you can take some major-related coursework/prereqs in CC that are guaranteed to transfer

Just as an example -- my civil engineering friend took statics, graphics (drafting), linear algebra, and introduction to engineering before transferring

Of course, I'm not saying "CC is your only option" -- I'm just offering some perspective to it as an option :)
