Which is the best place to choose when applying for Stafford loans?

Answer 1

First, fill out a FAFSA. If you qualify for Stafford loans, you can either get them through the government (Federal) or through a private bank (Bank of America, Washington Mutual, etc.)

I got mine through BofA. After about one year, they sold them to another company, so I no longer deal with BofA, but a company that deals solely with student loans.
