There's always the option of private loans - banks will sometimes give student loans. Abaya's suggestion of a small house and lots of roommates is key. I once lived on the second floor of a house with 7 other people and paid $80/month. Granted that was the early 90's and that "apartment" now rents for about $900 instead of the $650 we paid. We all had our own rooms, BTW, but it was still tight.
If your dad is willing to pay for school, why don't you tell him that you'll pay for housing, etc. As long as you keep your expense as low as possible by living in a dump, eat rice and beans and ramen all year and don't have a car, a part time job will probably keep you very close to solvent at the very least. Figure out what your costs are going to be and how much you'll need to earn (factor in taxes and payroll deductions too). That will at least give you a starting point to figure out if it's feasible with your schedule. You can also try pointing out to you dad that living off campus can be cheaper than on campus.
Good luck!
