For folks applying for business school loans - which bank are you using?

Seeing 5.52% APR with 0 payments in school for borrowing $60K over 10 years (total cost: 92.1K) or over 5 years (5.40% APR, $80.1K total cost).

Got these through Earnest (through that startup Juno). Is this the best I can do? Credit score is over 780.

Curious about your thoughts on this one. I get why people maximize their 401(k)s, IRAs, etc for retirement. But what if your retirement investments get significantly reduced due to a stock market crash, or a banking/financial institution system failure (especially as people get close to their retirement age)? I mean with all the changes in the world, who is to say that these institutions are to be trusted? At the end of the day, your investments, paychecks, etc are just a number on a screen.
