Can you sub lease or rent out wherever you're staying? If it's a 2 bedroom apartment (or even better, a house) you can rent a room (the one you're not staying in) out to college students (2 students per room) for a cheaper price than what the dorms and surrounding neighborhoods are charging. It should give you at least an extra 500 in your pocket every month.
Like everyone said, try everything you can. Check to see if your county laws allow you or your partner to baby sit, tutor for the SATS, ACTs or any other topic you're very confident in etc. These are all quick cash options but you should still be looking for a more long term and stable job.
I don't recommend bankruptcy--I don't even believe it should be an option because it will follow you for at least a decade and comes with all sorts of issues. Bankruptcy doesn't solve your immediate problem, which is to earn money, even if you do get it, without a job, you'll fall back into debt again and you can only file for it once. -shrug- that's my personal opinion though, so take it with a grain of salt.
