I'm finishing up my Junior Year PRAYING to enter and finish my senior year of undergrad.....I owe $5500 for this semester AFTER FAFSA and TAP (I live in NY). I ned to find a way to pay that off AND pay for my last year of school....my credit score is HORRIBLE therefore I can't seem to get approved for any private loans. All the programs I used to go to for Loan money are closed Thx to the recession....WHAT CAN I DO?!!! I already went to Fastweb and I have a small little page of matches that don't seem to have anything to do with anything, just the "sign up for a CHANCE at a $1000 scholarship" (yes I signed up for EVERYTHING) so it seems like life is.........

ANY SUGGESTIONS??!! HELP?!!!!

Talk to your schools financial aid department dude. We're not gonna give you a magical way to pay for college, or we'd be doing it. Also, 5500 a semester isn't a lot. I honestly don't know what you're freaking out about.

Get a job?

Most people work through undergrad to pay for whatever financial aid doesn't cover.

There is a lesson to be learned: pay your bills on time and do not screw up your credit score. College students pay dearly for abusing credit cards. It will come back to haunt you.

Getting a job is probably the best advice you are going to get.

I have a Phlebotomy Cert and have been applying like CRAZY since August and haven't gotten any replies or the typicall "if we're interested....." I guess I'll have to do retail and take the year off cuz I don't know any jobs that will get me 10,000 during the summer for this and next semester........
