Hi,
I'm an undergrad and I'm trying to decide who to get my loans from. Mostly interested in Stafford loans but would also take out minimal private loans.
So, which are some good companies/agencies to go with? Seems that some people like Total Higher Ed (their repayment benefits sound nice) and Nelnet (I can't find their benefits online). I looked at Citibank/Chase/BankofA and there seem to be so many conditions to get loan repayment benefits (as in interest/principal discounts) that I'd rather not deal with them. My school doesn't really offer much help.
Has anyone used Mohela? They claim that they give 2% interest discount which is nice but they also charge orig fees for Staffords (total fees of 3% of principal)
If it makes a difference, I'm a resident of and will be going to school in NY.
Please also let me know if you've found your current loan company easy to deal with when it comes to deferments.
Thank you much
