A student loan is always included in a bankruptcy, but it can only be cleared if you have been out of school for greater than 10 years.
There are changes in the works that will reduce that down to 7 years, but they are not active law (rumor has it they will be enacted in November 2008, but I have heard these rumors for 2 years so I have know way of knowing if this is factual or not).
If you want to be kept upto date concerning these changes go to the /student-loan-debt and you will find a place you can sign up for an e-newsletter that will be sending around updates concerning this legislation.
