You also have the option to take out a student loan even though you have to pay them back. My entire 4 years were paid for with student loans, and I consolidated them once I graduated and have one low payment every month. If you are considering a student loan you should get a federal student loan.

Here’s what you need to do to get one:

1) Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:

2) Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don’t need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

Hope this helps! Good luck!
