I am a half-time Hewlett-Packard employee and full time UC Berkeley
student.  What worked in my case was:

-As soon as I left the house, I was technically independent.
 Although my parents still "loaned" me money whenever I needed it,
 it, it was understood that any educational loans would be
 forgotten.

-After 2 years, the college considers me independent and does not
 include my parents' (rather signifigant) resources in my financial
 aid evaluation.  The college will make up any money I cannot earn myself.

What I have found, however, is that students who work during the school year
and then full time during the summer make an average of about 17K/year.

This is more than enough for me to still alive for a year, and in fact, if
I were a decent money manager, would yield a nice surplus.  As it is, I
enjoy my lifestyle a lot, all the more so because I earn it.
