Sallie Mae is clearly more interested in how long they can keep you in debt than any care about your academic goals. Their customer service is poor and they cut costs at every corner. I recommend Citibank.

They've changed a lot since I was in school, I reckon. They treated me fine and I always liked those paper coupon payment books. So quaint.
