Thanks for the positive review, Jude! We're glad you were satisfied with your rate and thought that the application process was easy.
I honestly thought I would have to put college on hold again after seeing how expensive my classes were. With only four days until tuition was due, Sallie Mae came through for me. The application process was super easy without a thousand questions and unnecessary documents. Sallie Mae emailed all the documents to my school to be certified and one day later my school certified them and my tuition was paid before the due date. More importantly, the affordable monthly payments made it possible for me to stay enrolled and focus on what really matters, earning my degree. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to keep moving forward.
Thank you kindly for the great review, Reese! We're so glad to hear that you were able to get the help you needed in time. Good luck on your higher education journey!
Knew right away what the history of my call was. Give a precise answer right away. And then helped me process an application, whereas I was expecting to be told that I have to go on my own and reapply online. All of this, very much unlike typical service from pretty much all other companies
Thank you so much for the kind words, Chad! We're pleased to hear that you were able to get all the help you needed. We appreciate the feedback.
The whole process of applying was smooth and easy. The questions were simple to understand and fill out. The whole application took no more than 15 minutes to complete. The approval was quick also. Lastly, the choices of how to pay it back was straight forward and also easy to understand.
Thank you so much for the positive review, Christopher! We're very happy to hear you had a smooth and easy experience with us. We appreciate the feedback.
fast and easy, I completed and submitted my application on my lunch break.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Samuel! We appreciate the review.
My assistant, Karen was incredible. I rarely answer these and very rarely remember the name of the assistant. Karen was patient and answered all of my questions very well. She was very informative. Keep up the amazing customer support service!!!
We're so happy to hear that Karen was able to get you the help you needed, Bridget! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We'll make sure to let Karen know she did an amazing job!
Ease of application. I also called customer service because I selected the wrong campus at the understory. I appreciate the short time I waited to speak to the rep and how well she handled my issue. Thank you
We're so happy you were able to get your issue solved quickly, Reid! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us.
The application was very informative, no hassle, straight to the point, and it gives the students an opportunity to reach their goals stress free.
Thank you so much for the great review, Antonio! We're happy you got the help you needed and we appreciate the feedback.
I needed extra money beyond what the school asked for bc rent and food are kind of important (and the little savings I have are reserved for buying a car) and you people jack up my interest rate 5% without giving me a way to explain why I need the extra money. THEN once I accept the terms you have the gall to offer me extra money for “additional expenses” screw you. Credit to your support staff, they’re as helpful as they can be. I’d say you should make it more thorough to explain what people need the money for rather than asking for bare minimum information and screwing over young, financially vulnerable people.
Thank you for your review and feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience and will contact you directly for more information.
I hope I spelled his name right but Deshawn in Delaware was absolutely amazing. This is the second time I’ve called Sallie and each time I was lucky to get him. He’s been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was patient and explained everything to me. He was professional and communicated clearly. I wanted to leave a good review for the first call I had but I didn’t receive an email so this one will be one to commend him for both times.
Thank you so much for the kind words about Deshawn! We will be sure to let him know that he did a fantastic job helping you, John. We really appreciate the feedback.
Great experience. Very quick and easy with daily updates on the whole process

Thank you kindly for taking the time to write us a great review, Michelle! We really appreciate the positive feedback.
Sallie Mae did a great job helping me through this process. It was my first time taking out any sort of loan and I was definitely nervous. Sallie Mae’s instructions were clear and kind. Everything was laid out in an understandable way.
We're glad we could help make the process a little less stressful for you, Maryann! Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a nice review.
Fast, clear, and talking to a great person where she filled out the information over the phone. This process has been great as my daughter is starting her 2nd year of college.
We really appreciate the positive feedback, Donnie! We're pleased to hear you had a great experience with us.
Called regarding a loan status. Spoke with Elizabeth. She was very polite and helpful in answering my question's and letting me know what else was needed. Great customer service!
Thanks for sharing your experience with Elizabeth! We'll let her know she did a great job. We appreciate the feedback, Brenda.
Easy Process! I was well informed step by step. Phone numbers were readily accessible if I had a question. When I overlooked a step, an email was sent to me giving clear direction on what step to take next. Everything was clarified.
Thank you kindly for the positive review, Kandi! We're glad you got the help you needed and that everything was clear during the process.
The application took minutes I was stressing out at the last wire, my daughter's class mate told us about Sallie Mae so we went for it. I can relax now and not be stressed about monthly payment until graduation... Thank you Tonya Montalvo Oakland Ca
Thank you very much for the review and feedback, Tonya! We're thrilled to hear that we were able to relieve your stress. Good luck to your daughter on her higher education journey!
I had problems in the area of getting a Sallie Mae account. My laptop went off when I got to that part.I called the toll free number for Sallie Mae and was connected to a wonderful customer service representative named Kastora. (not sure of spelling). She was very patient with me and answered my questions. She stayed on line with me as long as I needed and did not rush me!
Thank you so much for writing a great review, Robert! We're very happy to hear that Kastora was able to get you the help you needed. We'll be sure to pass along the praise!
