Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
most schools have libraries with books available, as well as computer labs. its obviously not ideal, but it beats not going to school at all.
also, a lot of schools have something called an emergency loan, typically not something you would get at the beginning of your college career, but its worth looking into, ask at your schools financial aid office.

Got any close family friends with decent credit? If not, try contacting the financial aid office and explaining your situation. They may know of some loans that don't require a cosigner. Keep in mind that the interest rate will be higher; but it will be worth it in the end.
Many schools also have tuition pay programs, which allow you to pay your balance throughout the school year as opposed to all at once. If you have savings at all, you could pay for as much as you can now, then pay the rest in small payments over many months. My school doesn't charge for this service; again, the financial aid office will be your best resource. They may even be able to get you a better work study award or something similar.
Good luck!
