Hey everyone... Hopefully this is the right place for this question.

I'm graduating college (finally), and moving off in May. Unfortunately, during my college career, I wasn't able to make much money due to unpaid internships. Anyways, moving is expensive and I have very little "cash on hand" for expenses and emergency backup. Is there any sort of long term loan or something along those lines that I could look into getting. I'm thinking 5-7 Thousand or so. I don't know how much it matters, but I've had two credit cards for 5 years, and spend and pay off about 500 a month... Sooo, I guess my credit is alright.

Anyone have any suggestions, or know where to start looking....

Thanks in advance!

You are unlikely to find an unsecured loan that has better rates than a credit card can give you. Just sign up for a credit card with a decent rate, in particularly one with a low introductory rate for the first 12~15 months.

Taking out money for "emergency backup" makes little sense though. Until you can save up some money just use the credit cards if you have a true emergency.
