Ian asked:


A friend recently told me of a person he knows that receives $26,000 per semester from the federal government in student loans. I am thinking about going to school full time, but need extra income. Would financial aid be able to sufficiently cover my living expenses and school as well? I have an apartment and all of the costs associated with that.

   do not get yourself into loans!
   be careful. you will not want to graduate with 200,000$ in student loans that you will have to repay and wont be able to. you friend is falling a trap. besides it sounds too good to be true.
   no you cannot live on financial aid. if does help alot if you are a low income student but it is no where near enough to support yourself.

   i suggest you live with your parents until you can afford your own place or get a part time job to accompany your studies.

   good luck!

   An income while attending college first fill out the form on the work study program on the fafsa form because it taps into need.
