What’s the best site for information on student loans and rates? or if you know of a rate that is best.?

A good source of info is www.salliemae.com. They have a variety of loan options and lots of info. Good luck with your studies.

I would go on the federal aid. The best student loans are through the govenment. They have a certain loan that doesn't charge interest til after you are out of college. And their rules are better such as if you can't pay one month all you have to do is call them and explain and they won't charge you a penalty.
