Stay away from loans if you can. Check out other options like...
There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.
Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.
Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

What kind of loans? Your federal loans (Stafford & Perkins) will usually be administered by your school (you apply using the FAFSA, the school awards them, then you accept them & later complete a Master Promissory Note). As such, you might want to check with your Financial Aid Office before you submit any Stafford loan applications.
Are you interested in learning about loans or applying for them? If you're simply seeking some general information/advice about anything from borrowing to repaying, try FinAid: http://www.finaid.org . The site is dense and offers plain-language, sound advice about the various loans and lenders out there. When it comes time to apply, you should be fine if you stick to one of their "best private loans": http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml ).
Once you've completed your research and are interested in borrowing a private (also called "alternative") educational loan, consider the following websites/lenders/loans:
http://www.salliemae.com/signature -- the Sallie Mae Signature Loan. This loan product is by far the most popular (most widely used loan program after Stafford).
or
http://www.studentloan.com -- Citibank's website. Their private loan product, the CitiAssist Loan (http://studentloan.citibank.com/slcsite/fr_hloan.asp ) is also pretty popular.
Try those two sites first. Sallie Mae and Citibank are leaders in their industry with decent websites.

If you're a citizen of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and many others, you'll need to verify with islamic banks on your possess nation or your monetary support workplace at your college on your nation to peer if they have got any sort of association with neighborhood banks. If there are any islamic banks that do pupil loans, it on the whole might most effective be for residents of that nation going to college there.
