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!

Some of the loans are direct, and then some are with Sallie Mae, so yeah, it's kinda confusing. Hopefully they can all just go into one big lump.

Yeah, the companies that send us mail, I'm pretty much ignoring. I did check out Nelnet though, thanks for mentioning it!
