I have a week to raise $5,000 or I can't attend college.

Run, do not walk, to the office of the student ombuds. You are not out of options, but you'll need the help of the ombuds to navigate this part of the system.

Why can't you take a loan?

Sell stuff on Craigslist. Make an account on one of those funding sites and post it to all your social media pages. Become an Uber driver. Do all the things. Borrow money.

Normally I would half jokingly say insurance fraud but there isn't even time for that.

You're sure that there's nothing the school can do for you?

Never take a loan you know you can't pay back within 3 months

whats an ombud?

I don't have credit (only 18, so that isn't unreasonable) and everyone i asked refuses to cosign for me. the only person that was wiling to do it has awful credit, so i didnt get approved for the loan

Every time I ask about something, they say they already distributed all of their money.
Also I don't have any insurance on me because my family is just that poor.

I have been trying to get the stuff people are giving away for free on craigslist. I plan on pawning it all for money so if i'm lucky that's maybe... $1000 because there are 2 pianos that seem available.

Cut your losses. There's always fall semester. College will always be there. You need to get your life in order. That means getting a job, going to community college for cheap, getting straight As so you can get a scholarship to a state university after 2 years of community college. Save all of your work earnings so you can afford college stuff and minimize the amount you need to borrow in the future. This is how most kids do it.
