A no-cost student loan consolidation � doesn�t that just sound too good to be true? Think about it. You have just accrued thousands of dollars in debt through student loans after 4 years of college, or possibly even more. Then, a company offers to take all of your loans off of your hands, put them into one central loan, and do it all for free! Well, while it might not be too good to be true, it all depends around your particular situation, which could make this a �free� process, or could still work out to the benefit of the consolidation company that you are working with throughout the process.

Here is how the student loan consolidation works. You have used up thousands of dollars in student loans to pay your way through college, obtain housing throughout college, and pay for other odds-and-ends while attending college. A student loan consolidation then takes all these different loans, pays for each of them, at which time you then pay the student loan consolidation company for the total amount of loans taken out during college.

College Savings Plans
So you have just carried your newborn into the house for the first time, placed him or her down into the freshly-purchased crib that you just obtained, and watched him or her drift into their first sleep under your roof. Now it�s time to head downstairs by the fire, cuddle up with your spouse, and start discussing college plans for this new little tyke. Wait, college plans? That�s right. It is never too early to start planning the future out for your child, especially with the way that college tuition is elevating to new heights with every passing year. Before you start planning though, it is important to know your options as new parents to a potential college student (even if he or she is just a few days old!).
Start A College Savings Plan Through Your Bank Your first option when learning about college savings plans for your child may be to contact your local bank and discuss the possibilities of opening up a special college savers� fund for your child. Not all banks have them readily available for customers, but check with yours to see if this is an option. If not, you will then have to contact specific companies that deal with college savings plans, such as the Section 529 state college savings plans. Such a plan enables you, as new parents, to start stashing money away now, so that junior can attend your state college once he or she is of age to do so.

If you were to have outstanding loans of $5000 to one company, $6000 to another, and $9000 to a third, the student loan consolidation allows you to owe $20000 to one company, rather than to three. This can save you money in the long run, as these companies also may be able to offer you a competitive interest rate, which means you will be paying less overall for your student loans in a shorter amount of time and to only one company. Potential Student Loan Consolidation Problems Problems can occur with student loan consolidations if you catch a deal that does not work out favorably to your situation. For instance, if you choose a no-cost student loan consolidation that does not offer you a low interest rate, you could actually end up paying them more than you originally would have! It is important that you choose a company not for their �no-cost� approach, but for their willingness to get your student loans paid off with a consolidation that promotes a quick pay-off with minimal interest rates.

An Education in Saving on Textbooks
Every year students flock to the college bookstore to purchase the various textbooks that they require for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. As unbelievable as it may seem textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much, if not more, than tuition.
On the surface the college bookstore may seem like a convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually in-stock and students may purchase new textbooks or opt for the cheaper alternative of used books. In truth the money saved by purchasing used textbooks from the college bookstore is only a fraction of the amount that students could be saving if they shopped online.

The Advantages of Attending a Career College.
There are many educational choices for this year�s crop of graduating seniors. Traditional colleges, both four-year colleges and community colleges, are becoming less and less of a �fit� for students. Long times to graduate, waiting lists for popular programs, or outdated curriculum for modern careers are all compelling reasons to seek other sources of education. Indeed, only 30% of students who enter a four year college actually graduate. Of those who do graduate, large portions don�t even find work in their chosen field. On the other hand, career colleges offer specific training for some of the �hottest� jobs available like nursing, dental hygiene and a wide range of technical and computer jobs. Let�s look at three perceived disadvantages a career college has over traditional schools.
