Well, the good news is that I got accepted to my #1 school, (Boston University) and with a very generous scholarship offer. My joy was brief however, as I soon began worrying how I’m going to make this happen. I’m wondering how everyone intends to support themselves after leaving their jobs for two years. Unfortunately I had a lot of my savings tied up in real estate, and that’s pretty much evaporated.
So, what to do about living expenses (rent, food, utilities, etc…)? I’m fortunate to not have to worry much about tuition, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t have bills for two years. I guess it’s time to focus my attention towards researching loans and other aid, but right now I’m pretty clueless. Will loans cover regular cost of living expenses, or only costs directly related to school?
I’m so happy to be accepted to a good school, and I’ll be heartbroken if I can’t take advantage of this offer. What are some of the plans of this community?

The school's financial aid office can provide more detail, but you should be able to apply for student loans to cover up to the total cost of attendance (including estimated living expenses), minus any other aid received such as your scholarship.

Lots of people take out loan to cover their monthly living expenses as well. If scholarship covers your tuition, why not take out loan to cover your living expenses for the first yr. If you get lucky and land a great summer internship, income from your summer job can help you in the second year.
