Did anyone go to Unitek or WCC? Did your loans cover everything + help with living expenses, or did you have to pay out of pocket too?
Because of the student loan crunch I'm worried I should start sooner and not later, because the loans might not be there if I wait. Also, I have to leave my morning job to go to school - that will mean my income is cut in half and I'll need an extra $800/month or so to help with living expenses. Can loans cover that?

I currently attend Unitek College in Fremont. I applied for an extra $5,000 above the school's LVN program tuition and successfully got it.

I received a loan to help with living expenses....that is through WCC....It helped a lot with rent....I visited both schools and liked both school but ended up going to WCC...and I'm glad I did....WCC uses the FAFSA form when applying for financial aid and Unitek doesn't (at least when I visited it last year it didn't, but check with them)...which means it's $30k straight loan.....good luck
