I think you'll be able to help me. I'm going into my 3rd semester this fall. I have an academic scholarship (tuition, room, and board), plus Stafford loans, and my parents were denied for the PLUS loan, so I will be eligible for more Stafford loans. Altogether, about $9k. HOWEVER, I'm an Aviation student- and if you know anything about that, it's an expensive road to go down. So, I'll be needing about $7000 extra each year to pay for flight training. I realize I'll need a cosigner, which shouldn't be a problem, but I'm at a loss of which loan to go for. Originally, I was going to do Sallie Mae, but I'm reconsidering after reading this thread. Basically what I am asking is which loan company is best to go for in my situation, right now. Feel free to PM me if you need more details or would like to talk in private. Thanks for this thread!

Oh well, flying is fun  As far as alternative loans go, I don't have any leads really. After Gov't loans, the people at my financial aid center said that a private loan was what I would have to get, and pointed me to the brochures for the private loans. I'm not sure if they were busy that day or what, but not very helpful. I can all them if you want me to, and see what they recommend, but I can't go by there because it's about 200 miles away. I might do that tomorrow, though. I was going to check out Astrive and Chase, simply because I've heard of them. I might also check out my hometown bank's student loans, but I'm not sure how they'll be. It's Arvest Bank, if you're curious.

I wish I could help some more, but my internet is crawling around 14.4k down (Hopefully getting fixed tomorrow). http://www.hsu.edu is the website, Henderson State University. I'll give them a call tomorrow morning and let you know what they say, though. edit- http://www.hsu.edu/content.aspx?id=8257 <-- preferred lenders.

Cool. I know I gave you a big job by not having any idea of what companies I want to loan from  Also, there's a nice big Sallie Mae banner at the top of this page... hmm, unless you respond soon, I might click it... But really, thanks for helping me and other goons out! You rock!
