Smists,
I am still waiting for my loan approval from Drexel (a private loan through Citibank). My financial aid package includes Stafford loans ($18,500). I love how financial aid departments act like your award is no big deal--it would be nice to know if my private loan will be approved as school is only 3 weeks away!
Anyway, I think most people have Federal and Private loans.
Good luck,
drumming 😀
