<p>*Alternative loan options?
For a homeless 24 year old (U.S. citizen) with no credit that has been accepted to GS for this upcoming spring semester, what options are there since private loans are seemingly out of the question for someone without any credit? Are there other types of loan opportunities (aside from having maxed out Direct Loans) applicable for this type of student?

<p>Is this for Columbia-GS??? IF so, how are you paying for your other costs? GS doesn’t give great aid. </p>
<p>If you can’t pay the expected costs, that is your bigger problem. NOt being able to pay the deposit would be a blessing.</p>
