Student loan advice

[tcd2004]

I am only a few semesters away from graduating college and I rely on financial aid to get me through it. The problem is the state doesn't give me near enough to pay for tuition so I have to turn to outside lenders. I usually had the balance pick up by a program called MI-Loan, a michigan state funded program who offered reasonable interest rates. Problem is due to a shitty economy, they can no longer afford to provide new loans. I am currently in the spring semester and need to find a new lender ASAP. I would prefer to avoid putting it on my credit card if possible. I was wondering if anyone has had good experience with another lender, such as Citi-Assist or Astrive. I know there is a ton out there but I need a good interest rate and one on good terms. I'm sure someone out there understands the terms, interest options, and repayment terms more than I do so I was hoping someone here could help. Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide some advice.

There are lots of government loans that you may not be aware of.
Go to your school's financial aid office and ask them!

Better to get a loan from the Gov't than a company that will harass you and demand unreasonable payments.

Im paying mine back and its killing me because I cant find a steady job that will work 40 hours a week...so I have been thinking of going back to school so I can get more, work, and pay them off with a guaranteed 45-50k income a year

i would highly suggest asking someone in your financial aid office as well. they will be better able to direct to a lender who participates with your school.
