<prompt> Human: am attending college in the fall to complete my second degree in computer science at a public State School. I am curious if its really possible to live off of student loans or whether I will have to sacrifice my nest egg over the next few years. What kind of money can I expect in student loans for living expenses? Credit score is in the 720s or 730s.Any advice is extremely welcomeAssistant: Keep a savings net of a few thousand dollars no matter what but dipping into those savings is wayyy better than the damage a student loan can cause.Human: I have every intention of getting a well paying job when I graduate though , I am a very competent person. Repayment of student loans doesnt worry me. And spending my nest egg makes me very scared. Having that money as backup makes me feel secure  <response>: repayment of student loans doesnt worry meas a guy who got a decent-paying job out of college do NOT underestimate what loans can do
