QUESTION
Does bankruptcy cover school garnishments as well even if you didn't receive any money from the school (I just dropped the classes too late)?

To file bankruptcy you need a lawyer. Pro se cases go VERY badly. Student loans are almost never dischargeable in bankruptcy. However, unpaid tuition (not a loan) may be discharged.

You cannot discharge student loans in bankruptcy. You may be able to stop the garnishment.

More information would be needed to answer this question. Generally speaking, educational loans and debts are not dischargeable. A bankruptcy will delay their collections, but it will resume after the stay. A Chapter 13 can force a payment plan, but hopefully you are not to that stage. Look into deferment and forbearance options as well.

Consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney. The loans may not be dischargeable, but it's worth a free consultation to find out.
