How can I reenroll into college?

How can I solve this issue with college?

• Hi, in May I committed to a college and paid a $250 deposit. However, I now realize that I made a terrible mistake by committing to this college. I deeply regret ever committing to this college and paying the deposit. I choose this college for all the wrong reasons and I have absolutely no desire to attend this college. I instead want to attend my local community college for 2 yrs instead, which would be much cheaper. The problem is that my parents are very upset that I don't want to attend the college anymore because they paid the deposit. The college most likely will not return the $250 deposit. I don't want to loose $250, but I also do not want to take out a student loan to attend a school that I really have no desire to go to. Also, my parents do not support my decision of attending the community college. I really don't know what to do in this situation. I have never been so unhappy in my life. I really don't know how I'm going to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
