How do I get enough money in student loans to cover my mortgage payment while I am in school?

I am trying to find alternative student loans to finish my college education. I am receiving enough money in stafford loans to cover my tuition, however I need more to cover my mortgage payment so I can continue school full time for 1 year. Every company I talk to says I can only borrow 60% of the tuition costs for other expenses. I need much more than that. Anyone have any other ideas?

How can a student with several loans get approved for a home loan?

I am currently a student with several student loans out in my name. I have a good credit score but am only able to work part time due to school. I make enough money to cover monthly rent with my boyfriend. We want to get into a house but I fear my loans and low income will make it difficult if not impossible for us.

Is it better to pay off student loans quickly?

I'm graduating this June and I'm going to have about 30,000 canadian in student loans. I want to pay off my loans as quickly as I can even if it means sharing a room with someone. I'm planning to take at least 50% of my pay check to go into loans. So maybe around 900 a month, which allows me to pay off my loans in about 3 years. I'm normally a saver anyway and I can live cheaply. I would have just enough money left over for rent and living expenses. My rent would only be about 400 dollars. Plus, I have savings right now that would work as my emergency fund. Do you guys think that it's a good idea and is it worth it financially? My thought is that it would save me on interest even though it would be hard for a few years, but I will be much better off in the long run. Any suggestions?
