If you left work within the last 5 qaurters, and you can prove you left work with good cause or were fired, but not for misconduct or substantial fault, then you might be eligible for unemployment. You should keep in mind that there are few reasons that are "good cause" to leave employment. Additionally, if you were in college for a year and a half or more without working anywhere, then you will not have the "base wage" on which to qualify for unemployment.
