Finding Student Loans

<p>I found a couple of useful sites for finding student loans that I thought I'd share.</p>

<p>However, before you look for private loans, make sure you maximize your federal student loans (i.e., Stafford Loans).</p>

<p>Student</a> Loan Toolkit
You can search for private loans and use their Loan Cost Index to compare the options you find. The index is a lot easier to use for comparisons than trying to figure out how the interest rate, the fees, and the borrower benefits are going to affect the cost of the loan.</p>

They have a comprehensive list of student lenders as well as contact information. They include the types of loans that each lender offers, but they don't let you compare them easily.</p>
