Which loan type requires you to make loan payments while you are attending school?
The loan type that requires you to make payments while attending school is typically a private student loan. Unlike federal student loans, which often offer deferment options while enrolled, private loans may not provide the same flexibility and can require immediate repayment or interest payments while you are still in school. It’s important to review the specific terms of the loan before borrowing.

Do student loans freeze while your in school?
The federal Stafford loan, which is the most common US student loan, is deferred while you are in school, meaning you don't have to start repaying until six months after you graduate, leave school, or drop less than half time.

What is the purpose of direct loan?
A direct loan is a student loan that is made to the student directly by the federal government, which then subsidizes the interest on the loan while the student is in school. A direct loan is not a consolidation loan, neither for student loans or for people who have general debt. Direct loans are made to those who are determined eligible based on need, which is determined by FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Keep in mind that student loans, once consolidated, are no longer "student loans" and as such are no longer eligible for any of the benefits of a student loan.
Do you still have to pay back student loans if the school is no longer in business?
Possibly - it depends on the terms of your student loans. If you took out a private student loan through a bank, you will probably need to pay back the loan. If you took federal student loans, depending on when and why the school closed, you may not need to pay the loans back. You should check with the institution that you have been sending your student loan payments to.
How do you obtain a federal student loan?

What will happen with your federal student loan eligibility if you file for bankruptcy while attending school?
Bankruptcy will not get U off the hook for the federal student loan. They used to have a hardship deferral, but I do not know for how long it lasts, or if that still hold true. Check the financial aid office for the latest laws and regulations.
