    You could get a loan but you'll have to put your parents down as guarantors. That means if you can't pay it your parents are responsible.

    If you work for the summer you could save up a fair bit of money so you'd only have to get a loan for half the fees say. Or if you can pay in 2 installments you could use the money from your summer job to pay the first installment and then work up to and during the xmas holidays for the 2nd installment.

    Why not eliminate fees by going to a non-private college and getting you fees paid by the government. Fact is you will probably go on to a post-grad which you will have to pay for aswell so it could all turn out very pricey. Have you considerd this?
