There is the problem right there.
Here is an idea. Get a job, save money, then pay for your ratings. Its foolish to borrow huge amounts of money that need to be repaid right away after school is finished. This does nothing but put huge pressure on you as soon as school is over, and this is regardless of the field of study. The picture doesn't look so terrible when you pay cash for your ratings and you are not buried in debt.
