Your parents could have easily loaned you the money but chose not to.
Your parents could have easily paid for your college but chose not to.
Your parents probably still took the standard deductions for you until you were 23.
You could have planned for it in advance and took emancipation to make sure that you were financially on your own. Which would have allowed for you to get better loans, grants, and scholarships. Even without that, I believe you'd have to only suffer for 2 years until you could have reapplied for those same loans, grants, and scholarships.
Why should I bankroll your college if your parents could have afforded it? Your parents made a choice. Take it up with them.
