<prompt> Human: I dont know if this is the right place to post this, and Ill try to keep this short and understandable, but Im in an interesting situation right now.Im 21, married with a child, and living in Section 8 housing while my wife and I attend college while working part time. She is going for Elementary Education, and I for Electrical Engineering. The only debts we currently have are about 7k left on a car loan that has pretty minimal interest 4.89. I dont know if this is pertinent information or not.Here is the issue. My daughter was hospitalized recently, so my wife and I were out of work for about 2 months during this previous semester. We do not have any bills from this except for having to drive 300 miles every couple of weeks for follow up procedures.We had to medically withdraw from school, and while we didnt have to pay much back in scholarships, I have to pay back about 2300 to the VA for money they sent me. In addition to that, the next semester will start soon and we will have to pay about 1,000 or so out of pocket for that, including books.We only have a surplus of about 500 every month after low-ball estimating our costs, and that is with my wifes parents helping us with daycare and our phone bill.We dont have the money to pay any of this currently since we were out of work for so long and we dont make enough as it is to save up in time for the semester to start.Perhaps this isnt as big of a deal to some people, but this worries the crap out of me. Does anyone know of any support or loophole we might be able to take advantage of in this situation? We talked to the financial aid office, who basically said they couldnt do anything except for offer us a student loan. I dont want to take the loan if I dont have to, but I dont see any other choice except for that. We live in Idaho, if it helps. Any advice is very welcome. I apologize for the wall of text.  <response>: 3300 in student loans so that you can continue your Electrical Engineering degree should be something you do without a second thought - assuming your degree is a 4 year Bachelor of Science and the school is ABET accredited.
