The college student loan process is usually thought of as RIDICULOUSLY complicated (which honestly, it is) but in this video, I'll break down the different types of student loans - FAFSA (federal) loans as well as private student loans, and I go into the pros and cons of both. Each student is going to have different financial needs, so understanding all of your funding routes for college is so integral to not overpaying for your collegiate experience. Hope this video helps, and leave any questions you may have down below!
