Mike - Thank you for sharing your feedback. We strive to keep our rates competitive, but several factors determine the interest rate including both the applicant’s and cosigner’s credit in addition to the loan repayment options selected, and we provide all the details about the interest rate for the customer to accept prior to making the loan.
Easy and quick quality and processing!

It was super easy a little annoyed that I had to even cosign for the loan when my daughter is 30 years old. But other than that, it was great. I did it in seconds approved in seconds couldn’t have been easier. Very good experience.

The interest rate is higher than you show 1st or advertise. Students loan should be treated at the best among any other loan but looks it is not.

Chung - Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that interest rates are an important part of the borrowing decision. While advertised rates reflect the range of rates available, each loan's final interest rate is individually determined based on factors such as the applicant's credit profile, loan details, and market conditions at the time of application. We strive to keep our rates competitive and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
It was easy to apply and great rates
It was easy to apply and my rates were SO much better than with Sallie Mae. I had our approval quickly and the information was sent to the school. I highly recommend College Ave!
