Student Loans for Off-Campus Housing?

Question:

Okay, so there's this 2 year college I want to attend in a neighboring state. They have a Fall B Semester and don't have any openings for On-Campus Housing.

I have $1200 in grants and $2400 in scholarships and tuition is a little over $5,000. So that leaves roughly $3600 that I would have to pay. So if I wanted to attend there, I have to get a loan obviously and an apt/some type of off campus housing. So if I were to get a loan, could the school make a package to where I can include rent & etc. in the loan package as if I were paying room and board?

Thanks in Advance!

    My local community college definitely lets students take out enough money in loans to be able to cover housing costs as well =]

    And I know plenty of people at larger universities that do the same thing...it's what I'll be doing in the spring!

    NO - colleges do no include any sort of all-inclusive off-campus housing "deals."

    That'll be up to you to locate and negotiate on your own.
