Other option is to sell the car for ~25-30k and then buy something used for ~10-15k.

How much do you still owe on the current car? If you can sell it and buy another decent car with cash, I would do that. $10k gets you a fairly nice ride these days (like an '04 Tahoe if you're flashy, or a '06 Honda if you're not).

As you can see that $30K dwindled pretty fast and I would do my damnedest to avoid taking out student loans for as long as possible. Reducing monthly expenses is key. Maybe next year once you get the hang of your schedule you can get a part time job?
