Question by jb: Could a photography student use a student loan to buy a camera with?

I'm going to a community college for an associates degree in communications with a concentration in photography. Could I get enough money to buy a Canon 5D Mark II? ~,000. I'm planning to use it all throughout school. How would I go about getting loans or grants for this purchase?
My tuition is around a grand a semester, also.
I'm already paying tuition myself. I never applied for financial aid before. My parent can't afford to help at all.

I wouldn't use a loan for a camera. Try asking your parents/guardians for the money and pay them back over time with steady monthly checks or something.
