Please try to avoid student loans. Go to community college. Go to in-state public college. Take one class at a time while working. Don't get suckered into a fancy college. Do whatever you have to. Avoid student loans.
@generica I used to recommend sticking with only non-private loans if one has to use them, but with collections on those loans outsourced to predatory private companies your advice makes much more sense now.
