I know I’ll need to get a student loan sometime during my university studies. I was just wondering how they work, what you need to get one and how long you have to pay it back. Any extra details would be much appricated.

Most student loans are limited to citizens or resident aliens of the US. You do not mention whether you are a US citizen living outside the US, or a citizen of another country.
If you are a US citizen, or resident alien (there are a couple of other types of non-citizens that are eligible…refugees for example) then you need to apply each year. The first step is the FAFSA and you can apply on line at. After that, there is more to do, but it varies depending on the answers on your FAFSA.
Good luck.
like mentioned earlier, you must be a us citizen or eligible non citizen to get student loans. Here is a good book that describes everything including the definition of us citizen and eligible non citizen. (look in the index in the back)
