Taking out student loans for housing?

Hi everyone, thanks for your input I have decided to take out student loans to cover housing for the next 2 years. It seems like the best choice for me right now. I have been dealing with a toxic family situation for a long time, and I am ready to move out and focus on finishing my degree without all the stress. I believe my well-being is more important than any debt I might incur. Plus, I will be living within my means, so I hope the debt would not be too much of a burden. What do you think?

I’m 24 years old, and I plan to major in health professions at an online community college to pursue a career in dental hygienists. I want to know if getting a student loan can help with the cost of a flat. I would like to move out of the unpleasant family home I currently reside in because it is ancient, has no privacy, etc. I would like to rent a flat until I graduate.

Is it feasible to borrow money to assist with the cost of a flat? If so, what is the process to follow? Regards.

Have you finished the FAFSA?

Federal student loans may be used to cover living expenses. The FAFSA is required for all federal aid.

What is the amount of money at hand? It’s difficult to quantify wellbeing without walking in your shoes, but taking out excessive loans is generally not a good idea. Is there a way to make ends meet by taking a part-time job or an on-campus employment?
