I'm 22, have started college and have absolutely no money, with student loans from government (Canada) I still need an additional 15k to finish it (About to start 2nd year next week) I applied for bank student loans and lines of credit and the maximum I could get without a co-signer was 6k. I live with my mom and using her as a cosigner I can't get anything at all because she has a shit credit history, I worked this summer but after the first two weeks my tendinitis got so bad that I only made about 2k that I used to pay some bills and help my mom around the house, at some point I considered asking one of my mom's friends to co-sign for me but I think that it's too much to ask someone that isn't my family.
Any advice on how to afford school seeing that military isn't an option for me (permanent resident).
Thanks

Talk to the University and explain the situation. They want you attend (presumably, they did admit you after all). They're very likely willing to work with you, maybe even waive the difference in cost. They have endowments exactly for this kind of thing

I thought university was "free" in Canada like it is "free" in the rest of Europe?

When I was at McGill it tuition was like $500 a semester for Quebec residents and $2k for other Canadians. It is surprising op can't put that together.
Have you talked to the school about a work study job? Lots of students work part time in college offices to help pay for school.
