Just enrolled in UoP and got the pell grant plus student loans to pay for it. Didnt know I would only get about 900 bacc after tuition. When talking to my financial advisor (from the school) I asked if there was any other loans I could get so I could have more money to live on and he said only personal loans and such. I dont have the greatest credit because when I was younger my parents put bills in my name and didnt pay them. I also dont have a willing co signer. Anyone know of a bad credit type of private loan? When I signed up for school I figured I would get a nice checc after tuition for cost of living just like my homie at the community college gets. With UoP thats not the case because of how expensive it is (something I should have researched before signing up). Now im in school and still trying to figure out a way to pay for life. Any suggestions?
