Where should you go to find the best student loans? Star Reviews, of course. That's right. We took on the task of helping you find your way out of sticky student loan messes, and as one of the biggest names in the financial arena, it was only natural that Chase would be on our list of potential lenders. Here's what we found out about Chase Student Loans.

What's New?

Student loan consolidation now available.
New medical education program for aspiring doctors.
Parents PLUS loan for moms and dads who want to finance their child's education.

Star Reviews' Favorite Feature:
We really liked the student loan calculators that Chase Student Loans offered. It was a great way to see exactly how much our student loans were going to cost us.

About Chase Student Loans:
If you're looking for a big name in educational finance, Chase is the one. As the educational finance division of JP Morgan Chase & Co., the company is backed by assets of more than $1.3 trillion. Chase has provided literally billions of dollars in funding to students. It's a company that knows exactly what it's doing and what students need.

Navigating the Chase Student Loans Website:
Talk about resources! The Chase Student Loans website has an abundance of them. From informational articles to student loan calculators, they're all right there. We highly suggest checking out the "Student Loan Fact Sheet" and downloading the PDF to your computer. It's a great reference for students looking to compare student loans.

The student finance calculators also proved to be very helpful and informative. Chase offers calculators for loan consolidation, budgeting and loan repayment. If you wonder exactly how much you student loans are going to cost, this is the place to be.

In addition to offering information on both federal and private student loans, the Chase Student Loans website also provides an instant online application. You can apply, check the status of your loan and manage your loan all from the Chase website.

Even though Chase's website had such a large array of information, tools and resources, the site did not appear cluttered and navigating through the information was relatively easy. Most information-packed websites look cluttered and can be overwhelming. This wasn't the case with Chase.

Chase Student Loan's Website Features:

Compare student loans.
Apply for a student loan online.
Check your loan status and manage your loan.
Consolidate your student loans.
Helpful loan calculators.
Interest rate information.
Student loan FAQs.

Loan Terms Available:

Minimum Loan Amount: $100

Maximum Loan Amount: Varies depending on the type of loan applied for.

Repayment Begins: Between 6 and 12 months after student graduates, withdraws or attends school less than half time.

Customer Support:
Chase has been around for quite some time and have had years to perfect their customer service. While this fact showed in Chase's phone support, the email support wasn't quite as impressive. When we called Chase we had very little hold time at all and the rep we spoke with answered all of our questions with in-depth answers. Email support, however, took a whopping 5 days to get back to us and then they just told us to go to their website to find the information we asked for. Not a single word addressed our actual question. In the opinion of Star Reviews, the response was unacceptable in both the time it took and the answer we received.

Upside:
Expansive selection of tools and resources, helpful loan calculators, user-friendly website.

Downside:
Unacceptable email support.

Summary:
If you're looking for a well-established, professional student loan provider, then you definitely need to check out Chase Student Loans. Backed by trillion-dollar company JP Morgan Chase & Co, they have the power to help get you on the road of good finance, debt-free. Not only are you given the chance to shop around and compare student loans, there are resourceful loan calculators which will help you see exactly what costs you will incur. Chase is packed with resources and information, but never left our team overwhelmed or burdened with cluttered links or text. Minimum loans begin at $100, which is a step ahead of their competition. Maximum loan amount will depend on which loan you're applying for. Telephone support was great, but email support took around 5 days, which we found unacceptable for a company of their caliber. But, their unbeatable loans and resources definitely make them a top choice in student loans.
