It is a excellent thought stick with one lender for all student private loans, or stick w/the same for for all loans?
I have gone through the same private lender (BOA) for all my federal and private student loans. But, this year I am thinking of borrowing from citibank for my private loan needs. Is it a wise go to switch to a new lender for my next loan, or should i stay with the same one? Even though citiassist has a slightly better rate, will my payments be more once i get out of school because the new lender will reckon i only borrowed 10,000 and charge me more based on that fact that they reckon that i can afford to pay more back? In other words, will having 2 lenders cause them both to reckon i only have borrowed from them, and consequently mean higher payments for me than if i were to stick with one lender?There are records. If they charge too much, you can show them a copy of a statement from your other loans. It doesn’t really matter who you get your loans from – they usually end up being sold to a separate company anyway.
Really one of the benefits to having one lender is that you do not have to worry about tracking down two or more bills. Also most lenders should be competing for you to stay with them so make sure you really look at the overall savings of your benefits, not just a better interest rate. Both lenders you mentioned can help to really know what to look for in a lender as fas as overall benefits, not just the rate. Look at customer service, combined billing, online managing of your bill. Other benefits like interest rate reduction, incentive for on time payments and other things. Talk to both lenders first. But remember combined billing is a plus. 4 years in school you dont want like 8 bills coming at ya! : ) Your payments typically are based on a repayment term. You have to question what the terms are with Citi and BOA. If they are the same terms and lets say they charged you the same interest then it would really not matter you are just splitting the bill instead of it going to one place. Did I make sense. Hope I did!

Student loans: Federal Unsub, Parent Plus, & Private?
I’m in a situation where I need to come up with $ 5500 (housing expenses). I’m thinking of accepting the $ 2000 Federal UNSUB loan (fixed 6.8% interest, payed as soon as the school receives the money). After reading other questions, I reckon Federal Unsub would make it possible to consolidate all of federal sub and unsub loans after graduating. Do you agree? Also, to pay off the difference ($ 3500), should I take The Parent Plus loan (fixed 8.5%) or CitiAssist Private loan( varies from 4-25%)? Thanks.You can consolidate all of your Stafford loans (sub and unsub) and you will retain all of benefits of each loan. For the remaining $ 3500, do you want your parents to pay it (and are they willing to)… or not. Parent Plus loan goes off the parents credit rating and they must start repaying the loan immediately (while you’re still in school). If that’s not a problem do that. Otherwise, the private loan is up in the air. They will take into consideration the borrower’s and co-borrower’s credit rating, it’s a variable rate, may or may not be able to be deferred, and usually has a much higher interest rate. To get that 4%… you’ll need to have perfect credit, start repaying immediately, and probably meet other supplies.

Is it possible for me to get a private loan for college? (E2 visa)?
I am going to be a freshmen at UCLA. i currently have an E2 visa and have been living in US for about 9 years. My petition for the NON-IMMIGRANT VISA waiver has been approved at the school, which means that that I will pay what the residents of California pay for tuition. I have applied for a private loan (citiassist apprentice loan) one of the private loan companies preferred by UCLA financial office. I have gotten a co-signer who is an American citizen and the loan has been approved. But, when I attempted to get an approval from the school, they have told me that for some reason, they do not approve loans of an E2 visa student. So, I called the Citibank to find out what my other options are, and they have told me this has never happened before. I was wondering if theres anything i can do to get this loan. Thank you for your time.See if your co-signer can get the loan for you. Then you would be responsible for seeing the loan was paid to the co-signer. After your first year in college you should have small distress getting financing for your education if you are in excellent standing with the school. You would also be able to look into scholarships, etc. depending on your GPA. Dr. Tommy Skelton
Hello, see if your co-signer can get the loan for you. Some student loans are possible without co-signer. I found fascinating in rank about your answer, college loans, scholarships, college grants & partime works here.http://all-student-loan-consolidation.blogspot.com/2007/07/college-loan-consolidation.htmlGood luck!
