<human>: So, fellow college students, and admirable college graduates: I have a problem. It's not a terrible problem, but I need help regardless.

I'm going to a solid private college, not a terribly expensive one, but it's masters program for my major has a good reputation.

In trying to figure out how to pay for the college, I've exhausted every grant opportunity I could find, and I'm down to needing $5500 a year in additional funds.

That doesn't seem bad, right? I can even pay it in monthly installments. The problem is, I have no liquid assets as of right now, and I have no reliable cosigner available. I want to have a safety net in case I lose a job before I can get a new one, and I'm unable to make the payments. I'm looking for advice on how to get access to loan money (student or otherwise) that I won't regret taking out. Any advice would be appreciated. (And is there a more appropriate subreddit for college-related advice?)

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Shit's expensive, yo. I need $5500/yr and I don't have a cosigner. Advice?
