I mean that the school tells the federal government how much money to allow us to borrow for school, and they limit the money to loan to that amount. So since most of my money is coming from loans, I can't get more money than the school says I need (which is $30/credit hour) for textbooks. That means I have to take money from something else (like paying for rent, T, meds, food etc) to pay for my text books.
I don't want to hear anything about how I shouldn't be using loans to get through school. My program does not provide any fin aid in any other form. To be able to do my dream job I have to do grad school.
