<prompt> Human: Im starting this post on behalf of my GF, who currently goes to a for-profit college for photography. I know, for profit college.. FML.She works her ass off and gets great grades, but shes barely making it financially with full time classes and working somewhere between 30-35 hours a week.Right now I myself go to good old state university and am also a veteran, so my situation is greatly different. Shes struggling hard core, and Im wondering if for profit private institutions offer any kind of loans for living expenses? Unsubsidized, subsidized etc? She goes in Monday to make her schedule for the upcoming quarter and get her financial aid sorted out, but from what I can gather, the financial aid only covers her tuition cost. I believe her mom also claims her on taxes she is under 22 or whatever that age is where shes still technically a dependent.Shes going to be ending her college education with an obscene amount of debt from the tuition, so Im wondering if a little extra would be worth it to alleviate some of the stress caused by being so damn poor. What options are available to her for a loan for living expenses at a for profit private institution? Anybody have any experiences with these kind of colleges? Thanks!  <response>: Im wondering if for profit private institutions offer any kind of loans for living expenses? Short answer: Not any that you want to take. It is in no way worth it.
