Throwaway for obvious reasons. Background- The estimated cost of attendance for my school is $32,000, I received a stafford loan of $7,500. I tried to borrow $28,000 from a private institution(I got approved without my parent's cosigning, I am really proud of that), the issue I ran into is that my school is only allowing me to borrow $21,500. I am only receiving disbursement of $1,400, that barely covers the cost of books for this upcoming semester. I planned on borrowing enough money to buy a laptop, enough for food and gas, and to have the occasional movie night because I will not have time for a job while in school(unfortunately my schedule is not job friendly, I didn't really have a choice about it). Right now, I have a part-time job and I make about $100 a week, all of that goes to gas, tolls, hanging out with friends, and a few subscriptions I have. I have no clue what to do, my parents can't afford supporting me and helping my sister go to school at the same time. Any advice is appreciated.
