You can get student loans to pay for living expenses. You'll have a grace period after graduation before your repayment period begins. I'd make an appointment with the financial aid department with your school. GL!

An equity line on your home is a great way to go. Your payment is only 1.5% of the outstanding balance.

Have you thought about a student loan. They are pretty practical and the first payment is not due until 6 months after you graduate. Also, the payments are affordable, unless you have an insurmountable debt of student loans already.

Start by talking to a finance counselor at the school you are attending. He/She will be able to show you any of the grants or loans that you qualify for as a student. If that isn't enough, go to a bank before a loan company. You will get better interest rates through banks.

I would start with the school first and see if you qualify for any type of grants. If not, then I would look at student loans. Sometimes the school can go through a particular company and get you a good rate and you pay back the school through a third party. One of my student loans was done that way. The drawback of going through the school is that they will probably apply the loaned money directly to your tuition and fees and you will not be able to use anything for your bills and living expenses. If you get a private loan through a bank, you can most likely use the money as you see fit, but will have a higher interest rate. Even if you don't go through the school for a loan, they will probably have a list of resources that you can go through on your own. Good luck!
