my school lowered my financial aid substantially this year and I need a loan to pay for school. My problem is that my parents refuse to co-sign- so I have no co-signer. Are there any student loans that are easier to get than others? I really need to pay for school! I'm already working myself to death to pay for rent and food and stuff...

Talk to Tulane's financial aid officers. I assume by you signing yourself Tulane that you are going to Tulane.
They will help you find any kind of student aid, grants, scholarships, loans you can qualify for.
DON'T GIVE UP KEEP DIGGING!!! PESTER THE HELL OUT OF THEM UNTIL THEY FIND SOMETHING FOR YOU!!
But if all else fails student loans are guaranteed by the Federal Government and all you have to do is be 18 or older in most cases to get it.

You aren't likely to find anyone who will co-sign a loan for you if they aren't friend or family. A co-signer is saying that if you default on the loan, he/she will pay it. There are few people in the world willing to do that for a stranger. Perhaps you need to stop taking classes for a semester or two and get a job. A lot of us worked to pay for school.

There are college loans with no cosigner but the interest rates are higher, do your homework and make sure there are no hidden charges or penalties. Why did your school lower your financial aide? If its because your parent refused to file a FFAFSA or submit their tax forms you can write and ask for special considerations or have yourself declared legally independent of them.
