Of course not. A loan is not a payment, but rather an entrusting of another person with your property (or money), expecting it to be returned. Rent is simply a payment in exchange for possession of something for some defined period, and it will not be returned. Similarly, a security deposit for renting property is not a loan and is not rent: it remains the property of the tenant, but is held by the landlord until the tenancy is discharged.

Can you get a student loan to pay rent and other things if school is already paid for by someone else?

If your schooling is paid for you do not qualify for a loan. When you apply for a student loan income is reported and tax records are asked for as part of the loan process. Get a job if you need to pay the rent and consider yourself lucky you don't have to get a loan. A loan is not "free" money and you have to pay it back when you graduate or drop out of school.
