Clothing money = $10,000
Total tuition for total time at college = $40,000

Loans and financial aid may come into account when paying for college but some people may not also. Applying for scholarships would be a smart idea intending you don't really have much to lose.
Getting at least a part-time job before college would be a great idea becasue it could help pay for college and you could also use that money for extra things. That may include more clothes, presents, beauty care, etc.
