    No, they will not.

    When I took out some student loans a few years ago, they made it absolutely positively clear multiple times that bankruptcy DOES NOT relieve one of the obligation to pay back student loans.

    The student loan company will wait a very long time to get their money back, and they have ways where you can restructure or temporarily not pay your loans (although interest still accrues, so the amount you owe continues to rise). But they WILL get their money back.

    I believe this exception was implemented after a substantial number of students decided "Well, my credit will be messed up for 7 years, but it's better than having to pay them back.".
