Get this book BEFORE you get the loan!

Its a review about this product

There are lots of different Student Loans, and they all have different rules. Not all of them will forgive your loan if you go into teaching, and not all of them will let you wait until later to start repaying them.

This book is readable in a couple of hours, and describes all the loan types, how the repayment methods work, and a lot of the pitfalls you can fall into by listening to "common wisdon" -- or sometimes even to the loan officer! The book does NOT describe how to get the loans in the first place, but has references to good sources for that part.

If you are heading to college and will need a loan, or if you are the parent of a student who will, get this book before you get the loan, and make the whole process a "non-event" instead of a nightmare.
