Gf just received her financial aid disbursement and she's only received $187 for the whole term (state school). Classes are paid for, but obviously that's not enough to cover food/rent for even a month. What are her options going forwards? Working would be difficult as she's a full time student and struggles heavily with anxiety/depression, her parents aren't in a position to help, and I wouldn't know where to start looking for a private loan. Thoughts?

Well, she could take out a loan for ~$3,000 and pay it back when she graduates if her major isn't completely worthless. Tell her to pay the interest off monthly (which won't be much because of the loan amount).

>inb4 debt is bad

Can she still sign up for more classes? Doesn't that play into how much aid you get? That's really shitty, sorry that's happening to her.

Getting a loan because you're too anxious to work is a recipe for disaster

Really, either she drops school to work, or she sucks it up and starts working and schooling at the same time.

Not true. Again, if her major isn't a worthless field of study getting a private student loan for a small amount to live on is not a bad idea. Education is an investment, but some people clearly don't know anything about personal finance

How is it that people actually waste their time with partners who suffer with anxiety and depression? Is this how you want your future to look like?

Get a job.

these anons get it
You got no money? Go work. "Can't" work because "muh depression/anxiety"? Go to therapy. Can't go to therapy because reasons? Suck it up. If your gf is unable or unwilling to understand that, and you just go along with it, that's really pathetic.
>>
She needs to suck it up and get a job, there's plenty out there that would suit her. Cleaning offices doesn't require talking to people much, and it's in the evenings/weekends so it fits around her schooling.

But I bet she thinks she's above cleaning.
>>
it's terrible. schools have increased tuition 5000%
and they teach less than half as much. Democrats got all these crooked deals in the schools to sell new books every year, so you can't buy used and new cost $200 each

they take every dime of financial aid now. tell her not to spend that money yet, they're gonna come after it too. she'll get a bill saying she owes something.
>>
what else other than you paying for everything
fucking parasites
