Juniper, you are really a wonderful person. The caring you obviously have for these kids is further testament to your overall warmth and decency.
That said....and please don't take offence at this....if you give up your college course I think you'll regret it. I think it would be madness. There has to be an option that doesn't include you giving up your dreams. That's not fair. It just isn't. My advice is to have a long conversation with your SiL and explore what options she's looked into, whether or not she has sought help from her MiL and what the potential is for her helping out if the kids are going to stay with you.
