Act may complicate repaying loans, official says

Published Apr 25, 2008

Students graduating in May will find fewer options to pay off loans, a financial aid officer said.


Loan debts will be more difficult to pay off for some students than it has been in the past because of the current credit crunch in the student loan market, said Melet Leafgreen, assistant director of scholarships and financial aid.


Although loan consolidation has been a popular option to pay off loans in the past, it will more than likely be a struggle for students this year, Leafgreen said.

Go Frogs! This phrase has become a daily part of my life - so much so that whenever I'm writing papers, I'll just insert it over and over until I can think of what it is I really want to say. While I do love interjecting this phrase into random moments throughout the day, it's not just a phrase that has become a part of my vocabulary. Rather, it is TCU that has become a part of me, in everything that I do.

Life skills reflected through school mission

Four years. It is complete, a success.


People will be sentimental about the upcoming graduation day, and to be honest, I may tear up a little after crossing the stage.


College has taught me the soft skills that are required to get by in the job market. I'm not saying that knowing how to pour a beer without spilling is an applicable trait to put on my resume, but there were other valuable attributes I gained in college.
