If you are attending the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in the Fall of 2016, it’s time to figure out where you’ll be living. Will you choose to live on-campus? Will you take advantage of the benefits to off campus living? If you are looking to rent a college apartment, the bigger question may be can you use a student loan to pay for it?
The Purpose of Student Loans
The Higher Education Act of 1965 states that students loans may be used for college tuition and for costs associated with college attendance, including room and board. There are some restrictions of course. For example, you can use student loans for transportation expenses but you can not buy a car with monies from a student loan. The same is true for room and board. The short answer, however, is that yes, student loans can be used for on or off campus living.
