Questions Answered by Felicia Gopaul
Hello people- my son is going to be entering law school this fall 2012. We have been awarded a stafford loan but that will cover only a small portion of his tuition and room and board. I am presently looking into private loans to help with the rest. Can anyone recommend a Good institution or bank or anything that has a competitive rate and deferment policy. I have o far looked at Chase and Wells Fargo. Also can you explain why certain banks use the Libor Index as compared to the Prime Rate and which would be best??
