need boring RL help/advice

[jaina]

Hey there savvy flist, I could use some Grown-Up Real Life Advice, if you've got it. Basically, we need to consolidate our student loans, cause rates are gonna go up like crazy come July 1. But we're kind of confused about how to do it-- namely, which company/organization we should go through, cause there's a million of them out there. Have any of y'all done this, and if so, do you have any words of wisdom? Googling yields mostly results from the various companies, and I don't trust any of their "advice."

If you'd rather not discuss it in the comments, you can always email me at jainamsolo AT livejournal DOT com.

Thanks guys!

My advice isn't any better. I just did it through Sallie Mae since the majority of my loans were already there. I was too lazy to do research, which was probably bad, but I figure consolidating with anyone right now has got to be better than not doing it at all.

Yeah, seems that way to me, too. Some of the loans are through Sallie Mae, so they're one of the ones we're looking at.
