Blogging for Student Loans

Okay, not exactly accurate, but we have forged a relationship with the folks at Savvy Tuition -- and I've mentioned that before, but it's worth a look-see for a couple reasons:

1. You're a High School Senior and you want to know what these loan things are all about. Good idea -- best to know at least the basics so you can tell Mom & Dad what's up. For instance, using the widget at the front of the U Sphere site, here are the results we got for an undergraduate loan...



2. You're a parent...gotta know what you can afford.

3. You're starting school or returning to school this fall -- or you're starting a graduate program, or even starting college online.

It's a crazy world of finance -- pays off to figure it out before you jump in.

Here's a site you'll like if you're thinking of med school...

U Sphere has a long relationship with "Dr. Mark" -- Atul Mark Kaushal, MD, is his real name -- and has always thought that they're doing some really interesting things.

He pioneered the concept of getting an English-language medical degree, right out of high school, in the EU. And, as he expands his firm's offerings, he's also re-launched a new web page. You can see it here: Medical Education Pathways.

What's really interesting, and paradigm-shifting, is the concept of going straight into medical school right after graduation from high school. It's not for everyone -- but, as students continue to think globally and look for new and interesting ways to learn, the idea of studying in Hungary and getting two years' jump on the rest of your life...well, we like that a lot.

Be sure to check out the video from University of Debrecen on the site.

And to see and hear from Dr. Mark, take a look at his company's Facebook page -- where you can see a video.

Hi gang,

We've got a new front page -- The College Connection Portal -- and we'd love to get feedback from you...

We're also adding a couple things to the mix that you'll find pretty interesting...

First of all, we have the Birkman First Step product up and running. Great way to learn whether you're headed down the right path...

AND we're featuring some "how to pay" widgets from our friends at Savvy Tuition. We like these lots...See the loan widget here.

Happy hunting!
