<prompt> Human: tl;dr: Have 7,000 in student loan debt after going to a college that may close down, judging to see whether there is anyway out of paying back that money.I went to Heald College in 2011 and graduated in early 2013. I was taken in by their advertising campaign and because I was going through a turbulent period in my life I just wanted in and out of school which is what they promised. At the end I had around 10,000 in stafford direct loan debt.After graduating I felt pretty jipped with the quality of education I received and the misleading way it was presented. Finding out after graduation that I was now qualified to be a secretary was sad.After I got a job I changed my payment so I would be paying my loans back faster. Now if you have been following the news, Corinthian Colleges who owns Heald was fined 30 Million dollars and they are in danger of closing down for misleading advertising and falsifying graduate employment data.Now I realize that in the grand scheme of rpersonal finance 7000 is not huge but living in Hawaii is expensive and grinding out the cash each month when I can barely keep my expenses afloat is tough. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on what I can do in my predicament?Link that made me finally decide to ask:Help me rpersonalfinance youre my only hope!  <response>: You have federal student loans. Those loans will not go away if the school bankrupts. Not paying federal loans will haunt you for the rest of your life until you pay them.
