Need to take out student loans - how do i get started?

I'm a rising junior at a target business school and I'm starting to look at student loans cause well, my parents are out of money to pay for school. My parents have kind of stranded me on an island with all of this and I'm looking for loans on my own and I'm not sure how to best go about this. This is why I decided to come to WSO and hope that a few monkeys here can give me a few tips that will help me get started and push me in the right direction. Literally any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I have little clue what to do.
