can anyone name some good student loans to apply for? i've tried sallie mae and i'm having no luck because my cosigners credit sucks. are they the only ones with the best rate. and by the look of it, it seems i won't be able to attend college because of this. i keep getting denied and i just want to get this paid and over with.

Apply for a Federal Loan. They are backed up by the government so credit isn't an issue.

First.....You have to be registered with the selective service in case there is a draft. You must turn 18. www.sss.gov (http://www.sss.gov)
Second....You must be a citizen.
Third.....You must apply to an accredited college.

Talk to your schools financial aid office. They get paid to know this stuff.
Why dont you just go to UConn? $7K a year. Quite a bargin.

acting
Nothing wrong with that. I have a friend whos a truly talented actor. He has been on broadway and at our huge theatre in philadelphia. It's for sure not the most fail-proof profession, but you could do worse. PM coming your way.
