		<description><![CDATA[January is here, which means a few things.
1) Resolutions&#8230;by now, many of you have abandoned your goals and aspirations to do things differently in &#8216;07. For those of you who have kept it up, congrats!

		<title>How Quickly Can I get a Loan?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is January, which means second semester is about to begin. If you are the minority, you have your FAFSA renewed and your financial aid in order. But if you are the average Sally, you are in a bind, and next tuition bill is due any day now. This is when you turn to an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=graduateloansatoz.wordpress.com&blog=471772&post=23&subd=graduateloansatoz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Have you transferred schools?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even though I never transferred colleges, I have heard that the financial aid process makes this no easy task. Students that are going to switch schools at a semester break cannot take their financial aid package to the new school. This is confusing because you assume that since you were awarded, say, $5,500, you can [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=graduateloansatoz.wordpress.com&blog=471772&post=24&subd=graduateloansatoz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What if I only have a few days left in the semester but really need money?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all know how stressful and expensive the holidays can be &#8211; between travelling and buying gifts, your bank account might be tapped. For those in school, it&#8217;s even worse &#8211; I remember needing to buy poster boards, binders, and stuff like that for final presentations and feeling like that was about to break the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=graduateloansatoz.wordpress.com&blog=471772&post=22&subd=graduateloansatoz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;But what do I do with my undergraduate loans?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Graduate school is a common and, often times, necessary next step in advancing your education. What do you do with the loans for undergraduate school while you are enrolled in your graduate program? Most will just defer the loans until dropping graduate school is up. While this certainly is a good idea &#8211; there is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=graduateloansatoz.wordpress.com&blog=471772&post=21&subd=graduateloansatoz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Can You Afford Graduate School?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a lot of friends who are sort of in that limbo status&#8230;.they got their undergraduate degree a few years ago, and they feel stuck in their current job. In order to move on to better things they need more education. I am always hearing concern about whether graduate school is affordable or not.

		<title>Gobble up the savings!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, excuse the silly title but we are all getting into Thanksgiving mode and I thought I&#8217;d post something for our readers who may already have Federal loans (Stafford, PLUS, GradPLUS, Perkins) and might want to consolidate. Typical loan terms are for 10 years &#8211; so regardless of how much you have in loan volume, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=graduateloansatoz.wordpress.com&blog=471772&post=19&subd=graduateloansatoz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Scholarships it is!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently got a question about scholarships. This is the best type of financial aid because it doesn&#8217;t have to be repaid! Check out www.StudentScholarshipSearch.com &#8211;  Student Scholarship Search Center. It&#8217;s a free search site that allows you to check scholarships, grants and more. You can even search by your program, state of residence, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=graduateloansatoz.wordpress.com&blog=471772&post=18&subd=graduateloansatoz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Can the Graduate Plus Loan be used for Living Expenses?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Graduate school is not only expensive as far as tuition is concerned; it is also expensive for the student because it is so time consuming and holding down a full time job is nearly impossible. Often times the student needs an additional loan to help with everyday living expenses, including rent. Since the Graduate plus [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=graduateloansatoz.wordpress.com&blog=471772&post=16&subd=graduateloansatoz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

For me, it was all the expenses I never really thought about that got me into trouble &#8211; presentation materials, a new CD burner, ink cartriges (boy, are those expsnsive).
