08.27.09 | Private Student Loans, Good for All Seasons
Imagine having an application for school with NO deadline. What’s that you say? An application like that already exists? Which one? Oh, I didn’t realize a private student loan application could be completed at anytime – even in the middle of the semester.
I think most of us naturally assume that every school related application has a specific financial aid deadline, and for good reason. Most applications do have specified deadlines. I recall when I entered my junior year of school, back in the golden age, that people were telling me to make sure my SAT prep class and test were taken by this date, and that I needed to send out my college application(s) by the end of this particular month, and that I was crazy if I hadn’t completed my FAFSA and scholarship applications by the middle of January of my senior year. By the way, for a complete list of grade by grade action plans from 8th to 12th, vistit college application calender. The process of getting into college was completely overwhelming to me.
I had been so used to letting Mom handle things for me and now I was the one in the center of the storm. That’s why it’s good to know there is a floating deadline when it comes to student loans. After the Mom and Dad ATM runs out it’s comforting to have a place to go to get the funds you need.

To be honest I have a private loan and I do not plan to do it again with the Bank I did it with because its bit high and compare to other loans but to some extend private loans are more flexible with you.

I rather have a grant or a scholarship anyday. Loans are such a hassel. It makes me feel like I will be paying for them for the rest of my life, but I don’t attend to and I am claiming I won’t.

Check what your college scholarship, financial aid, and grant situation is. I never anted to takes loans but sometimes it’s needed. However, if you save up money on the side. It’s easier to pay back.

I really hate taking out loans because I it feels like I’m setting up something that will come back and haunt me later. Kind of like procrastinating.

Using loans can be risky because you don’t necessaily want debt as a college student or when you first graduate college. As long as they arn’t too expensive, I say go for it!
October 28th, 2009 | #
I really dont want to use any loans.

Student laons are an investment in your education so the debt is good.

It seems that no schools or companies are interested in assisting post-graduate students. We are people who are penalized for being committed to development in our fields and to lifelong personal professional development. Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do?

I would much rather have scholarships than loans.

I think private loans are good when there is no other alternative. Scholarships take too long to process and are not guaranteed. Grants have certain requirements as to if you can get them or not.
