Thanks for putting all these resources in one place - I’ve recommended FiLife to our customers and will certainly refer to this post in particular.

I work for a company that built a nifty website that allows borrowers to search for and compare student loans at http://www.SimpleTuition.com.

Since all the data on the site is “real-time,” we are keeping up with all the changes in the industry - who is still offering loans, who isn’t, and what the loans themselves look like, since many lenders are also changing their benefits or incentives. And since the site works like a gigantic calculator, you get a complete picture of the total cost of the loan, APR, monthly payment and the range of rates (that, for private loans, depend on credit score/history). We’ve found that it really helps student borrowers see - before they apply - what their debt commitment is going to be and be careful about over-borrowing, as well as understand the differences in types of student loans.

Hope it’s useful for your readers, too!
