Student loans for off campus housing?

Published

Has anyone used student loans to help move out of ones parents house or live off campus? I am currently turning 25 years old and looking for ways to move out of my parents house while still being able to go to nursing school. I do not want to be 28-29 years old before I am finally able to move out of my parents house. Too me that is just plain pathetic and every day I wake up depressed and upset with this thought. It has gotten pretty bad to the point that it has been hard to concentrate at times due to this depression thought. I know my school offers 10,500 in student loans and was trying to figure out if I should use that to help pay for a small studio apartment. Just wondering if anyone else have done something similar to this or has done this. Thank you

Unless your living situation is atrocious or abusive with your parents, getting into debt to live alone isn't the greatest of ideas.

Living on your own and having to make ends meet on your own isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Having to to pay $400+ for an a/c bill in the summer (granted it's a house & I live in a very warm part of the country)...that is down right depressing.
