Have Student Loans?
« on: April 21, 2005, 02:09:09 pm »
Just a reminder that if you have student loans, especially older ones, the rate re-adjusts in June, and will certainly go up.  If you've not consolidated your student loans, you could save 50% per month on payments, so do a google on "Student loan consolidation" and lower those payments before the end of May.

Right now is probably the lowest rate you'll have in your lifetime.

Still at college in my final degree year, will be about £10,000 in debt in terms of student loans after i've finished..

Would of been a lot higher if i had gone to a university instead of a college... My sister who is a law student at Lancaster University will have a huge loan to pay back...

Finally paid mine off last year, never been happier.  Was looking at that bill for way too long.
