It's a terrible idea. There are tons of wealthy lonely males out there. -- Posted by NakedSun at 10:55 am on April 4, 2008 You should be able to take out a student loan without a credit history I believe. You can try and get a scholarship as well. Why don't you try doing some fundraising? Look for a different job that will pay you more? -- Posted by snowfish at 10:55 am on April 4, 2008 apply for financial aid. If your parents really don't have the money, you'll get financial aid. You can take out student loands/government loans without credit history, I did it. i\Get in contact with the school and explain you situation. I'm sure they do some type of financial aid. Also, apply for scholarships. There are tons of them out there, a quick google search will find some,but also look for some specific to you, your school, or your interests. There are soooo many scholarships out there that people just don't apply for. Also ask your school for work study. If you can get jobs like building monitors, you can work and still be doing hw. I hope some of this helps. -- Posted by Byble at 10:56 am on April 4, 2008 get a student loan? -- Posted by Keltic Fighter at 10:57 am on April 4, 2008 Financial Aid. -- Posted by CeriseGlitterspark at 10:58 am on April 4, 2008 Appply for a Scholarship. And you don't need a credit history for a student loan. -- Posted by SilverClover at 11:02 am on April 4, 2008 Financial aid and American student loans don't work abroad. Sorry, go to an American college. It's not worth it to become destitute trying to go abroad unless you're going to a top school (which you're not). Not to mention that the flights home alone would break the bank. -- Posted by dooger at 9:29 pm on April 4, 2008 Quote: from SilverClover at 11:02 am on April 4, 2008 Financial aid and American student loans don't work abroad.

Is it because it isnt oxford or cambridge and those are the only foreign schools you know? -- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 5:55 am on April 5, 2008 UAL is not a top school. Beleive me. You would have been better off applying for an arts programme at a UoL uni like Goldsmiths. Sorry but thats the truth. Or if you were going to UAL you should have applied to St Martins or LCF. They are the only too really worth getting yourself destitute over. -- Posted by PimpMyHoes at 10:57 am on April 5, 2008 Remember there is always prostitution -- Posted by dooger at 1:56 pm on April 5, 2008 Quote: from theatreminelli at 5:55 am on April 5, 2008 UAL is not a top school.

Whats wrong that makes the university not a top school:O In your first year you are allowed to try out all of the different schools in university of Central St Martins, which i wanted to go to before, I have done some fashion design i jus tam not sure if it's what I want to do for the rest of my life. -- Posted by SilverClover at 9:16 pm on April 5, 2008 Quote: from dooger at 12:29 am on April 5, 2008 Quote: from SilverClover at 11:02 am on April 4, 2008 Financial aid and American student loans don't work abroad.    Sorry, go to an American college.

Hmmmm not too sure about trying out all of the schools. Goldsmiths has a better reputation within the arts community than most of the UAL schools. Also something to think about is that UAL does not offer accomodation so it will be more expensive to find a flat or house or whatever in London whereas places in UoL offer halls especially to overseas students. -- Posted by dooger at 12:56 pm on April 6, 2008 Quote: from theatreminelli at 5:48 am on April 6, 2008 Quote: from dooger at 9:56 pm on April 5, 2008 Quote: from theatreminelli at 5:55 am on April 5, 2008 UAL is not a top school.

Please tell me where you are getting your information about Chelsea school of design and goldsmiths, i very much want to read it please, im a little sceptical but also i believe you a little. But im sure UAL is a fine school, I don't care if it's not the top program in the country, it's more just about I want to live in the UK rather than america and this is a good (maybe not top) arts program in the country -- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 2:21 pm on April 6, 2008 Quote: from dooger at 8:56 pm on April 6, 2008 Quote: from theatreminelli at 5:48 am on April 6, 2008 Quote: from dooger at 9:56 pm on April 5, 2008 Quote: from theatreminelli at 5:55 am on April 5, 2008 UAL is not a top school.

Check out www.thestudentroom.com. its a great forum for University students has a forum for overseas students, and UAL, and Goldsmith and the other UoL colleges. -- Posted by Guacamole at 6:08 am on April 9, 2008 you got into chlesea? SICKK. my best mate emre got into there also.. he starts next year on a foundation course... i have the same problem although im in england wanting to study at occidental. sorry i cnt help. -- Posted by Guacamole at 9:47 am on April 10, 2008 hey.. check out the fulbright commision. sorted. -- Posted by Summer2008 at 1:00 am on May 16, 2008 It's really a sad situation. And there is no real easy answer. You have to find a few different income streams for yourself including online and offline job opportunities; of course scholarships if you qualify - but so many people don't. I really don't like the idea of student loans because I don't think it's fair that college kids have to have a huge loans looming over their head as soon as they graduate.
