I managed to get through college without any student loans, thanks in part to scholarships and the other part to working my ass off. In hindsight, I may have been better off focusing on my studies and taking out a student loan or two as necessary. If I go back, I will definitely not be working so student loans here I come!

Yea I think it depends on the school and major.

It's always best to avoid getting student loans, but if you have to get one, the best type to get is a federal government loan.
