Hi There,
Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience.
I am so grateful for my new private student loan refinance with EDvestinU. I have a little over 80k of private student loan debt from art school and want to go back to school to go into the healthcare field.
As I began that journey I knew that going back to school would not be feasible unless I found a new lender who would refinance my loan and offer some form of in school forbearance / deferment.
Feeling determined to make a positive change in my life through going back to school, I scoured the internet and found a total of thirteen lenders who refinance private student loans. I noticed EDvestinU right away. The company values and ethos as well as the unusual fact that EDvestinU is a nonprofit company was truly inspiring.
After looking into all thirteen companies, only two lenders of private student loans offer an in school deferment / forbearance. Citizen’s One and EDvestinU. After getting approved for both lenders, EDvestinU stood out as offering a fair loan agreement that seemed feasible for the life of the loan (i.e. discretionary deferment, hardship deferment, in school deferments, etc…)
Each representative I talked to was kind, down to earth and helpful. I could tell that I wasn’t talking with a mega financial conglomerate like Citizen’s One and that was meaningful to me. At the end of the day, I am a human, not a number, and I always felt like a human when speaking with EDvestinU.
Thank you so much for making my life change possible! It means the world to the “me” of today AND the “me” of tomorrow.
