Try getting a job, that helps when you want to make money.

Have you filled out your FAFSA? You can use student loan money to help you pay for your housing on campus or off campus. After you have filled out your FAFSA and received the maximum amount of loans through your school, you can still get a private student loan. I used Citibank to get mine. The only catch is that you can only borrow up to the Expected Cost of Attendance for that year at your school. That info should be on your school’s website. Here’s how it works. Your schools ECOA is $15,000. You received $9,000 in aid through the school. This means that you can borrow another $6,000 through a private student loan. There are a couple of warnings. The private student loan will accrue interest while you are in school. You won’t have to make any payments though. The other warning is that qualifying for a private loan is much harder than the government subsidized loans. You may need to have a co-signer to get approved. Good luck to you!

There a plenty of ways to pay for your college housing. Have you applied for financial aid, if so, your loans may help you pay for them. You can take out a private loan to pay for it. A family member can pay for it. You can get set up on a payment plan and pay a certain amount every month. Do you have scholarships, this could also pay for it.

You need to check with your school for all possible options, and also your personal financial situation.
