After screwing around with community college for such a long time and haven't even finishing my Associates I am deciding to move away from my home. I am deciding to move down to Gainesville to attend a local (large) community college there, and hopefully after my associates is finished and I have a few things finished I will be able to transfer to UF and work on my Bachelors. I am very excited about this prospect and I figured I would write it out.

There are several loan institutions including through FAFSA that would greatly help out with an estimated 9,500 per year limit, which would include a subsidized rate as well as any living expenses that would need to be covered (rent/food/gas/books/anything besides tuition). I've got it figured that 9,500 going to Santa Fe would be worth the trouble and paying it off after graduation isn't necessairily that bad of a price to pay. The loan I am applying for is going to be subsidized and that means I won't have to pay interest on the money not used, which is great as well.

I'm looking through places to live near the campus as well as a new line of work. At this point, I don't really need much money to get by if the loans are going to be covering my life expenses, and my car bills won't be an issue if I don't drive very much down there and can include some 'living expenses' to help pay it off.

Has anybody gotten large loans and moved to live on or near a university? I'm just looking for any pointers or tips to keep an eye on or out for. I am hoping to be gone from this city in about 2-3 months right before the 2010 Spring semester starts.
