Student Loans with a Credit Union vs Bank?

Has anyone taken a student loan (graduate) with a credit union? What are the benefits of this? Cons?

Re: Student Loans with a Credit Union vs Bank?

If you're asking about private student loans - the terms vary widely from lender to lender.  As a rule, credit unions tend to be a little more consumer-friendly because they are owned by their customers.  They can also have more lenient lending standards, but that is generalization, not a rule.  If you're considering private loans, you'll want to shop around carefully and compare terms and interest rates.  While a credit union may have the best offer for you, don't assume that will be the case.
