You should talk to your college's Financial Aid office, who will be able to direct you to potential loan sources which may not need a cosigner. Most students are not going to be able to get a loan without a cosigner unless it's something like a guaranteed student loan, in which the government is effectively your cosigner. You will need to qualify for a GSL, though, and your financial aid office will help you with that.
YES !!! He/she should certainly discuss it with the cosigner. It may be a gift or it may just be that the cosigner doesn't want to have that note appearing on his/her credit report. Whatever the reason, even if the cosigner did it as a gift, the primary should acknowledge and express appreciation. But be prepared if the cosigner expects the loan to be paid back.
