14600 income + 2000 loans = 16600 budget.

250 rent on a $500 apartment with utilities included that you share with someone, + $30/month internet that you share = 3180.  
10k for college.  
40/week food (grocery shop, not eating out)= 2080/yr  
15260 spent so far, leaving 1340/yr.

6000 miles a year @ 25 mpg = $720 in gas  
-600 for insurance  
$20 left over.

So you better take 3k in loans\yr, work more than 25 hours/wk. The point is the options are there.
