student loans

[TheGrillMan]

so i was speaking from a rep at the school im going to attending and she told me that im going to have to have a co signer to get a private loan to cover the other half of my tuition.

now my uncle who has been in school for 6 years said that he had horrible credit and never needed a co-signer or had any problems at all


so am i gettingf ****ed?

or am i going to the wrong place ect..?

More than likely going to wrong place. Alot of place don't really like dealing with "young" people, so they force you to try to get your parents to cosign for insurance.


personal experience
I'm 22 and I have rented different 4 apartments. My current apartment is the only one I needed to get my parents to co-sign with me (weird isn't). I always paid the few bill I have on time and I met all the requirements of the contract (salary wise), but was force to get a cosigner due to not having "enough" credit.

Why are you trying to get a private loan anyways? Can't get one through your school?
