<p>I am taking out Stafford and Perkins loans and am left with PLUS loans. I’ve read that there’s a certain amount students can take out in loans. Is this where a cosigner (or something) comes into play? Is there any alternative to PLUS loans? If so what are they (in order of least expensive)? My parents are unwilling to pay for my education; I am on my own.</p>
<p>Please remember to be responsible. And, you can work hard and work along with your financial aid advisor. If you try to be prudent minded, you can kind of set your own limit if that is possible and you can make what I call micro payments while you are still in school to ease things for when you graduate.</p>
