New Jersey teenager Rachel Canning is suing her parents, demanding they pay for her current living and transportation expenses and commit to paying for her college tuition, CNN reported.
Four months prior to the lawsuit, Canning, 18, moved out of her home to stay with a friend. She moved back in with her family Wednesday, but has not withdrawn her case, the New York Daily News reported.
The average student at the University pays about $10,600 each year, borrowing about $15,000 over the course of undergraduate studies, according to the White House College Scorecard.
Should Canning ultimately win her lawsuit, her parents would be required by law to pay a similar cost if she were to attend Rutgers University in New Jersey, a school of comparable size to LSU, according to data from the White House College Scorecard.
