Is it true that taking out a private student loan decreases the amount of federal loans you can take?

mb20and151 asked:


I am starting a very intense degree program where they reccommend we don’t work for the last 12-15 months of our schooling. For this reason, I am planning on utilizing federal loans and private lender loans.

This morning, I spoke with the financial aid office at my school. They told me not to take out a private loan because it will reduce the amount I can get from the federal loan. What’s up with that?
