You can get good amount of money. It can help you buy your books or pay for your rent and pay any tuition extra you might need and, and live and eat and do all those things you might want to do every once in a while. But you gotta pay them back. You don't pay them back while you're in school, but once you've been out 6 months, they start to come back and you have to pay them. And there's been all kinds of controversy controversy as of late as to whether student loans should be eliminated or you should be let go of your student loans.
