    i don’t think you can if one is sallie mae and one is private. . . unless you consolidate it all private. . . luckily i had all sallie mae and it worked but i have a friend who has both and even though a private lender said they could do it it got all sorts of messed up. . . so make sure they know what they are talking about before you go through with it. . . .

    Unfortunately, no, you cannot consolidate private and federal student loans.

    Unfortunately, student loan interest rates go WAY up on 6/30/06 thanks to Dubya! It is imperative that you consolidate before then. You can refinance just one loan. . doesn’t have to be multiple.

    Myself, I am a grad and need to consolidate my loans before the deadline! So I went on a google hunt (I mean search ;) . Eventually, I did find a site that has rated a few student loan consolidators, and says they have checked them out. Here’s the web page: http://lendersrated. com/studentloans. htm. . .

    Hope it helps you. . .
