you could always try to get your parents to cosign on a student loan from your bank.
They have bad credit.

Re: Alternative student loan?

Basically, I need to pay for my housing (roughly 12000 USD for the upcoming academic year) & need a student loan, however I have no credit & no-one I know has good credit nor is willing to co-sign.
I would need this loan in 13 days. Am I royally screwed at this point? There is no on-campus housing so I had to resort to off-campus housing, and signed a lease on 30 July (however they told me they could cancel it if I don't have financial proof that I can pay for it). The thing is, if I cancel, is it even possible for me to find other housing and if so, what are the chances that I would qualify for even half of that amount, considering the aforementioned credit situation?
Fuck it. Your gonna be paying it off till the day u die anyways.

You could try getting grants, although the most I ever got was $1000 in cold hard cash.

What state do you live in? Certain states give loans to students attending their schools specifically. I go to school in Massachusetts and got a $34,000 loan from the group MEFA.

imo probably not the best of ideas to ask randoms on the internet how you are gonna pay for college...with that said one of my friends took out Bank of America loans while she was getting her BA or maybe it was MBA. She's a pro at living beyond her means so she couldn't have had great credit

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.
To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Seriously..... I lived in a nice place... 3 bedroom and 900 total....
it's not that absurd for better private schools, actually. Hell, it was 10k even at my high school.
