Finaid.org has a lot of information about comparing student loans and I believe it lists many as well. Borrowsmart.com may also list some for comparison. I think there is at least one more, however, I can not remember right now. I am guessing you already tried your school's website and/or financial aid office?
Are you applying for federal student loans (Stafford and/or PLUS), or just private student loans? Yoy may know this already, however, rates for private student loans are often based on credit depending on the loan type/lender. So, the rate that you listed may not be the rate that everyone gets (could be the lowest), and also, most private student loans have variable rates.

Hello,
Yeah, I need it in addition to my federal loans. My school's website dosen't really say much about private loans. I'll check those websites out.
Thanks for reminding me about the variable rate... I probably would have forgotten about it. A fixed rate is much better.
If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. I used to work for a student loan lender, and also for a financial aid office, and I have kept up with many of the student loan changes (there have been a lot in the last year or so!)...........
