I am hoping to get back to college in the Fall of this year. Here's the thing that is an issue about that. I want to go back where I started for College. Thing is the tuition has tripled since I was there and now its going to cost me $30K to finish (1.5 years). I don't make nearly enough money at work to afford that outright. My Father has agreed to help me, however I don't expect him to "help" out that much; as he just retired and won't have as much money coming in for a few years as he did when he worked.

My question is how do adult students get student loans and are the interest rates on the loans as ridiculous as I can imagine?

If anyone can refer me to a website or company that helps adult continuing education students I would be sincerely grateful.
