It's pretty annoying, its makes a loud clicking noise, and it bugs the hell out of people when I type, especially in class. Sounds like it's loose, any ideas? Could I take it in or am I stuck with it?

All laptops (at least, every laptop that I have ever seen) have replaceable keyboards.
If you are at all comfortable doing mechanical tasks, you should be able to replace it yourself. If you do, be sure to observe precautions against ESD (Electro-Static Discharge). Basically, keep yourself grounded, so as not to build up a static charge, and then damage the sensitive internal components of your laptop by zapping them with that charge.
Before you replace it, you should try to find another laptop like yours (same brand, model and vintage) to be certain that this is not a design flaw that affects even brand new keyboards. Also, if your keyboard has not always had this problem, but developed it over time, then it is likely that a new keyboard will fix the problem.
Once you have decided to replace the keyboard, contact your laptop's manufacturer, and you should be able to order a replacement keyboard.
Good luck!

What is the model of the laptop since the keyboard could be changed.

Try taking it off and cleaning it out. Thats all I can think of.
