I heard that banks do provide loans when you have co-signer because its mandatory for international students but i don't know the process.

Anyone had got the loan please advice me.

I doubt you'd qualify for a bank loan as you wouldn't have any credit history like someone mentioned above. You should think about earning a scholarship instead. If you do well you'll probably qualify for scholarship. You may also work on campus in the beginning and save up money for tuition.
