Question by I want to plow your wife: Conservatives that complain about student loan programs, how do you expect someone with a high school?
education to make $ 60,000 per year so they can afford to pay for college and still have money to live on without loans? Also don’t forget, they’d have to be able to make that $ 60,000 per year while still having time to go to class.
@ Brayden – quite a few of them. There were a few in here yesterday complaining about how they paid their way through college with working. Chances are that was back when state university tuitions were only about $ 2000 per year.

Question by Kailyn Q: Which student loan lenders don’t require school certification?
Which student loan lenders don’t require school certification?

Thank you.
Uh, my school is completely legal. I just need more money for living expenses than my current bank is willing to give me. Schools that require school certification will give cost of attendance, well my school sets that at 3k. You try paying tuition, books (over 3k itself) and then trying to pay bills or even buy pencils!
By the way, I don’t think you understand what loan school certification is. They just call up the school to see who is enrolled for what and then approve the amount that tuition is for the school on average.

Question by NYTeacher: Who should I contact if I believe a school is defrauding government student loan programs?
I contacted the DOJ, but would like to know if there is another entity that could be of assistance. It is a public college so contacting local government wouldn’t seem to be the way to go.
Jim, I am repaying more money than was applied to my bills. I received around $ 9500 in loans, but I am paying back over $ 14,000. If I only used $ 9500 of loans, why am I paying back more.
