Anyone planning on taking federal student loans to help with living expenses, furniture, etc?? Are we allowed to even though we will be receiving a stipend? And are the stipends tax-deductible? I'm just trying to get an idea so that I can start looking for apartments in my budget. Thanks!

I think there are some threads on this. But, at our school, you can't apply for loans during your med school years, but you can during graduate school.

Some schools will allow you take out loans, and other wont. So this is something you should look into before making too many financial decisions. Also, your stipend it taxed.
