What is the best approach to handling loans?

Not only in regards of getting them. Are they available elsewhere, apart from the colleges themselves? Interest? What would be the best way of repaying them?

I would like to read off of everyone's experiences in #college because I do not want to miss out on anything in college and regret it later. Since you only get the college experience once, so I want to make the best out of it.

I’m currently enrolled in college to get a certificate on Administrative Assistant but I’ve seen the job postings and mostly all of them say Masters or they need previous experience. Would I need to get an Associate in Administrative Assistant?
