I recently spoke to a student that graduated and he was telling me how he financed his education. I’ll save you all the details and give you the bottom line - lots of loans both Federally funded as well as private. I told him what I tell everyone who has student debt - consolidate.
Loan consolidation is one of the best things you can do upon graduation. Student loan consolidation is the practice of paying off all of your outstanding loans, from different sources, with a single loan. This simplifies the repayment process and allows you to lower your monthly payment.
Beware however that consolidation may stretch out your repayment process. If you were planning to pay off your loan in ten years, after consolidation it may take longer. This is not true for all consolidations. In fact, you may not only keep your repayment period the same but enjoy the benefits of lower monthly payments.
If you’re in debt and have recently graduated then student loan consolidation is for your. Speak to your lender or school to find out how loan consolidation can save you money.
