If you're an independent student (not a dependent of your parents) the maximum number of loans (when you combine the subsidized and unsubsidized loans) for a freshman is a whopping $9,500.

No one can live and pay for school on $9,500 in Chicago -- no one.

If Venom has a decent credit history or someone to cosign he MIGHT be able to get a high-interest private party loan, but they're hard to come by right now because of the credit crunch and they're a horrible deal -- most charge interest rates up near 10%.

You have an advantage being a minority in this workforce. Try attending some diversity fairs.
