how can I clean my shaggy rug?

I live in a college dorm, and i have a black shaggy rug on the floor. Over the course of the semester it has accumulated hair and dust and dirt, and its pretty gross. I have tried shaking it out, and it worked a bit, but the carpet is so shaggy that it seems to hold onto the hair and dirt.
I do not have a vacuum, and I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for cleaning it.
Thanks a bunch!
the rug is about 6×10 feet

    Make a trip to the laundromat (detergent, cold wash, cold rinse). It may cost a few pennies, but you’ll know it is clean. I wouldn’t dry it in a dryer, though. Bring it back and let it air dry in your room. Drape it over a couple of chairs.
