• Answer:

  Yes, student loans (that of course have to be paid back) will help in covering your tuition. As far as whether or not you have enough, it depends on what type of school you go to (Private vs State). Individuals who attend private schools do not receive the same financial aid eligibility as those who attend state universities. If you attend a University out of state, tuition is also higher for students who are not considered a resident of that state.
