Hi Everyone, nice to have this forum. I was getting sick (as I'm sure that everyone in the .alt group was) of that ranting dude. Anyway, I just signed on with City University (of Washington State) not to be confused with other City Universities. I'll be mostly distance learning. I am taking out a student loan. City U does not handle government loans for DL students, only private ones. Does anyone have experience with these kinds of loans? ie.. is the interest on these tax deductable? Banks that might be preferable over others? Thanks in advance.
