I remember being so nervous before I called to ask for a deferment, but it only took about 15 minutes on the phone! I think I had this irrational fear that they were going to berate me for being a deadbeat.

I am very, very glad that I never had to take out any private student loans. I’ve heard some real horror stories about Sallie Mae.

I’ve found the federal student loan people to be pretty helpful about payment plan adjustment, etc.

I can’t see somewhere like BoA being quite so nice about it.

I’m curious as to what you mean in comparison to other forms of debt. Are you thinking about credit cards and the big interest rates associated with those?

I just pay it every month, based on my income. In 20 years it’ll be forgiven or I’ll luck out and find a way to pay it off sooner.

It’s not bad really, Especially compared to other forms of debt.
