As for the financial aspect, there is likely support available. You may qualify for enough financial aid to cover living expenses after the baby is born (though you'd have to get through this academic year on whatever aid you've already been offered), and there may be other sources of temporary aid available. Going to college as a single parent would not be easy, but it's not impossible. Also, you'd be entitled to child support whether or not your boyfriend chooses to be involved in the child's life, which may be part of why he is encouraging you not to parent.
