That's a tough one, you really need someone willing to vouch for you.....
Why do you need a co-signer though? You should be able to get federal stafford loans without one. Almost any state school is affordable with a part-time job + fed. staff. loans. If you're going to a private school and are taking out additional private loans, I suggest you rethink the whole thing before going 100K in debt for a bachelors degree.
Also, in case you are using Astrive or any of those other TV commercial loan places I strongly strongly recommend visiting an advisor at your school and asking about more reputable sources.

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.

I know that paying for school can be very difficult. If your parent(s)/grandparent(s)/aunts/uncles/siblings/etc. aren't credit worthy and you don't have any family friends who can help have you considered taking a short break from school to earn some extra money? If you take one semester off or go part time you might be able to work more. Also, contact your financial aid office. They might be able to help you find alternative funding options. Don't just let anyone cosign for you -- I'm sure you can find cosigners online to help you out but don't trust something like that. Good luck and hang in there.

Avoid the student loans at all costs they are not the deal they make them out to be . I've been paying on one for several years now and when it gets about half payed off the sell it and the full amount starts all over again. so fare that $1500 loan has cost me over $12,000 and shows I still owe over $10,000 .
Try for the grants.

If college is that important to you, you should find a way to pay for it without student loans.... Sally mae and her compadres are the devil!!!! I would recommend taking a semester off and saving up. Or you can do what I did, and join the Army reserves, and have your college be completely paid for. Dont just immediately discount the military as being able to benefit you.... just call your local recruiter

You can't just ask anyone. It is ALOT to ask someone. If you're lucky, perhaps your adviser at school will do it--but only if the two of you are really close.
