WHAT STUDENTS SAY…

[I learned] about each of my loans and how to

utilize them in the best way possible, while also

understanding about my U-bill

She was able to answer all my questions regarding loan repayment, and even had some suggestions I hadn’t thought of. She was also

kind and nonjudgmental.

She took her time to walk through all of

my questions and gave me some great

resources and understanding!
