I wouldnt be able to. I have to work especially now that I will be going to Grad school.

If you are earning a Masters degree, why do you want to go to Law School? I am just curious.

The only way some students get by with not working is financial aid. They save it up and live off it.

I would estimate that most law students come from a home where the household income is in 6 figures, get scholarships and grants based on their grades and where their parents work, and still take on school loans. I don’t mean the families have a lot of pull at the law colleges, although a few might, I mean many corporations have scholarships only available to family members of their employees. If you are from a middle income or lower income family, you should expect to work at least part time, get some parental support, and have at least one scholarship or grant to manage the school loans.

Some law schools also offer the option for a student to attend at night. This is more realistic for people who work as they attend school. Even then you might still have to do some student loans, but if you were to find a law school where you could attend at night you probably wouldn’t have to worry as much about money as someone taking out an insane amount of loans.

Many law students take out loans with the expectation they’ll be able to pay them back with the salary they’ll earn after they graduate. Of course, this can backfire if they don’t get hired by top firms. If that’s not a good strategy for you, save up and investigate scholarship options.

definite, they were thoroughly out of line in how they dealt with the placement, yet they don’t look obligated to feed you. Your college is in basic terms obligated to provide you with an education and with the time to devour your nutrition. i’m assuming that you’re in extreme college because you probably did not say even if it turned right into a HS or college cafeteria, so if you’re unable to manage to pay for to purchase nutrition or have a lunch packed, i might want to characterize that you’ve your mum and dad look into getting on nutrition stamps because a million) you may have nutrition to deliver with you or 2) you may want to be eligible for decreased value or free lunches.

student loans and government loans.

many of them allow you to defer payments until several months after graduation.

check out educational loans from banks too. they sometimes have better (lower) interest rates.

stay away from personal loans for housing, though. if you can find a roommate and get a PT job or on campus job, that’d be best.
