Regarding getting loans as a Canadian student

Hi guys , I was hoping someone currently attending optometry school in the states as a Canadian would help me out in the process of getting loans. Which bank did you guys use? Did you need co-signer ? How much loan did you get? I’ve been accepted to MCPHS and NOVA so far Would school would you recommend? MCPHS - tuition is $49k and they gave me a 15k scholarship/year NOVA -tuition is $43k no tuition
