Hello, I am ready to apply to several accelerated nursing programs in Maryland which are from 13.5 months to 18 months in length. What is the best way for me to pay for living expenses (mortgage,etc.) while I'm going to school full-time. Will a school loan cover that amount (about $50,000) or do I take out a HELOC? I am a single person so I don't have another income to rely on.
