Ok, first things first, go to the Fin Aid office.
Ok, seriously, they are the people to help you out if you can find someone willing to do so. Try to get yourself on a federal loan type thing, like a subsidized (I think that's the one you want). Stafford rings a bell, I think I had a Stafford unsusidized loan in school. The good thing about subsidizes is that they don't accrue interest until after you've graduated, and even then you've got a certain grace period after graduation before interest accrues. Definitely the cheapest loans you can get.
Other than that, a good way to save money could be working on campus. For instance become an RA (or whatever you call them). Usually working for the housing office you can get free housing, assuming you live on campus or want to live on campus. I paid more for housing per term than tuition when I was in school, so if I had free housing then I'd have been set. Although I got free tuition through the Hope scholarship fund.
