Like a few people said. Could you try a slightly cheaper school? Mississippi State University is where I went (definitely not as costly), and they offer several great (and very well known and respected) engineering programs. It'd be out of state for you but maybe you can pull something off to waive the out of state tuition (it's very possible). Just an idea... There are plenty of schools out there to look into.
$30k is a lot but student loans can be handled differently. Expect big school bills to pay once you're out of college, but then you'll have that engineering degree
Get you a job during school, save up, make a good down payment and maybe in a year or two you will be able to afford a used FR-S (or new)
There are ways my friend! Never give up!!
