How reliable are student loans in dealing with college costs and costs for living ?
I'm worried about not being able to pay off college tuitions and I don't want to be in student debt. Other than scholarships and part-time jobs, what else can I do?

Research available internships or scholarships, and apply for for them. Some universities offer free tuitions for students with lower family income.
Part time job helps, like working in Target etc. while studying. It will be a bit harder, but many people do that, and will put you further in life.
Not a financial advice, but consider amount of money you'll make after graduation vs loan payments - if it will cover them and rent, groceries etc.
Another piece of advice is "don't go to grad school unless it's paid for" / no huge debt. You can get to the same place just by working, if you're constantly learning and improving in your field.
