Okay so with financial aid for college...
I know that typically when you're including your housing fees in the student loan that you're talking about on-campus living like in a dorm...right?
Well can you get a student loan that will cover the cost of a small apartment off campus while you're in college?
I was class of 08 high school but I didn't graduate because I didn't have enough credits...so starting winter semester (because while the fall semester of college is going on I'll be finishing high school) I'm going to community college. I'll finish up the year in community college but for next year I'm hoping to get into Eastern Michigan University.
They have on-campus housing BUT...I have 2 dogs. I know SOME universities allow pets to stay in certain dorms, but not EMU and none of the ones that I found had my major available (Interior Design).
For most college students this isn't an issue, they just leave the dogs at home, but one of my dogs is the type that attaches himself to one human, which is me. And my family doesn't like him because of that...so I don't trust them to take care of him properly because a) they don't like him, b) he doesn't like them very much either, c) none of them are responsible pet owners and d) he has a liver condition that he needs a very specific diet for. My other dog I'd have less of a problem leaving her behind because the family likes her more and she has no special needs. However she has had my older dog around her entire life and I don't think she would do well without him. So at the VERY MINIMUM I need to take the one dog and he weighs 10 lbs so it shouldn't be difficult finding an apartment that allows dogs his size. My other dog weighs around 60 so I'm kind of worried that I may be forced to leave her behind. The ideal would be to take both.
So my main question is do student loans cover off campus living expenses?
But as a side question...do you know of any colleges that allow dogs to live on campus?

You can do that, but it really depends on the loan, so you have to ask questions and read the fine print. If you're taking a loan from a bank, be sure to ask someone about it. So just make sure that whoever you're getting it from, you know for sure that they will cover your apartment. Also, make sure you find a place that accepts animals.
Anyways, if you need to take out a loan to cover your apartment, then maybe you should reconsider. Do you really HAVE to move out? It would save you TONS of money if you stay at home while going to a community college, which is what most people do.
At Michigan State, I'm almost positive that there are some apartments where you can have dogs. They may not be on-campus apartments though.

There are student loans that cover off campus housing. You just need to ask your bank about it.
You might want to email some universities about their pet policies.
