for housing? I live in a very small town, forty-five minutes away from where I attend college. I am going to school full time and am searching for a part-time job, but if/when I find one, it will also be 45 minutes away from home. So I'm just wondering, if my folks are being kind and paying for my tuition/books, can I still get a student loan to cover housing so I don't have to waste the gas/money driving back and forth every day for class and work?

--edit: they're already forking out more money than I am comfortable with. I would like to take care of the theoretical loan myself, if any bank/government agency would permit me to have one
