Not sure I understand this. I am not familiar with the term "International Student Loans"

Are these loans from US banks designed to help international students?

If so, then I can understand the need for a Co-signer that resides in the same country as the loan granting bank. The US Bank needs to have a US co-signer in order to get their money back.

Or does "International Student Loans" mean something else?

But in any case Student Loans suck but are frequently the only way a student can afford college. I am looking at about $75,000 in student loans if I ever finish my doctorate (ouch!).

Without student loans I don't think I could have afforded to go back to college.
