<p>I need to take about 1500-2000 in private loans on top of my sub loans. I was just wondering how/where do I do this? our family is confused because the banks we went to said that they can't do that and when we asked our financial aid counselor she said something along the lines of "i can't help you out there because we as a university cannot suggest any loan companies." I would be really grateful to someone who explains how and where we take out loans and anything else we need to know about them. I hear sallie mae a lot is that the best?</p>
<p>I’m confused that you need money on top of your “subs loans” but don’t mention the unsubsidized Staffords…did you already accept those as well? If not, you should have at least $2K in eligibility there so check with your school. </p>
<p>Why did the banks you talked with say they couldn’t accomodate you - do they not offer student loans or is it something else? Sallie Mae has a lot of bad press about their abyssmal customer service, so I would avoid them like the plague. Some posters here have reported they’re happy with Discover.</p>
<p>Yeah sorry I meant unsub too. I will accept those too. </p>
<p>Yeah none of the banks we went to helped us with the loans they all said they weren’t able to. I’ll look into Discover thank you.</p>
