More details to this question:
I was recently sent a letter from the attorney general stating that it was a notice of discontinuous CPLR 3217 (a)(1) without costs and without prejudice. Then they sent me a letter dated after this asking me to appear in court. I am worried because I cannot afford any of this because I am still in school now.

If the original action was discontinued without prejudice then a new action may be commenced and you may defend. If the action was discontinued with prejudice then the Plaintiff may not recommence for the same matter.
