    No i woudnt take it. Because i would get depressed if it didnt work out. They spent alot of thier money to get me a education and if i couldnt handle it, it would just be a waste of thier money.

    I would rather save up my own money to do it.

    Depends, is this their life savings? are they going to have to cut back on food and luxuries? for me it would all depend on how much they had to give up and how they had to live afterwards, as long as it wasn't going to devastate them financially then probably, otherwise if they were going to have to live on beans and other cheap food i would rather go to a local community college.

    sponsor my studies? does that include dorm, food, books, misc fees? If they'll only sponsor my tuition fee then i probably wont but if they would pay for EVERYTHING i need, then i would.

    Given that you are already poor, why miss out on a great opportunity like that?
    Failure is not an excuse not to take it because you'll only fail if you won't do your best.
    take the opportunity, MAKE it work, and pay them back once you make get a decent job (even if they don't ask you to.. you don't even have to pay the full amount.. just show that you are grateful)

    1. Take it.
    2. Work really hard and do well
    3. Become successful (working hard + a respectable uni should give you plenty of chances of being successful at whatever you are pursuing)
    4. Pay them back and thank them for their generosity.

    Only if you are serious about it and won't dick around in your studies. You owe those people that much at least.
