@Mindy JensenI appreciate the response and I guess that is precisely where I need to start because all of the things that you did mention such as credit and income are things that I do not have at the moment as a college student but thank for the input so that I can at least have an idea of where to start because it literally seemed absurd to just walk into a bank at the age of 19 with no income and no credit, asking for a loan.

If I were out of state I would start a wide search and then become more and more precise.
