Start with a Stafford federal student loan, which requires a completed FAFSA. Once you've done that, take a look at PLUS loans (that your parents take out) or private student loans. Of course, the entire time, be looking for scholarships, too. Here's some resources to get you started:

Good luck!

Oh i should have looked at your reply yesterday! I called a place this morning to talk about getting a personal student loan, from Prosper, i spoke with them and they i guess are pretty popular. But anyway im still going to look at the sites you sent me because i haven't committed to anything yet. What should i be looking for? how do i know what is the right option for me?
