To follow up on one of the posters concerning what your federal student loans can be used for, here's the relevant section from the standard promissory note (I signed mine yesterday): 5. Use of your loan money. You may use the loan money you receive only to pay for your authorized educational expenses for attendance at the school that determined you were eligible to receive the loan. Authorized expenses include the following: · Tuition · Room · Board · Institutional fees · Books · Supplies · Equipment · Dependent child care expenses · Transportation · Commuting expenses · Rental or purchase of a personal computer · Loan fees · Other documented, authorized costs
