Private student loans without a cosigner? UNIQUE QUESTION!?

You can get government unsubsidized (non-need based) loans through FAFSA. So if your looking into loans already fill out the fafsa and request loans. For a private student loan you need good credit so being young with not much credit you most likely would not be approved for it. You could try getting an actual loan through your bank if you have been with them for awhile; it wouldn't be much but it would at least help with some things. If none of these work out move some bills around (or cut back) and start saving up some money to help pay for your expenses. Almost all schools have some sort of payment plan so look into doing that again as well.
