I've seen several people on here highly recommend T.H.E. as a lender.

all the matters is that you dont pay an origination fee and can postpone repayment throuhg residency. At some point you will consolidate your loans with one lender so you may not be with this lender long term

This thread seems like it would be more appropriate for the Financial Aid forum than the pre-osteo forum, so moving it there...

This is so true now especially - with all the proposed changes to the student loan industry - the one thing that you may see get re-initiated is the fees that for the past few years haven't been too common. Finding lenders that have a non-profit status may be the key to receiving these benefits in the future.
