I've got two student loans out. If I were to consolidate my loans, the gubmint would reduce my rate by .25 percent. This all sounds nice; I owe about 16,000 on my loans including interest (which is about to be added to the principal), and paying one lender instead of two would be a bit less headache. I'm just worried that I'll wind up paying more in the long run. Anyone with a head for this stuff think this is a good/bad idea?
You'd need to provide more details for someone to tell you for sure, specifically the principal and interest rate on both loans, and on the final consolidated loan.
