Are student loan rates really going up?
I am trying to figure out if I should consolidate and lock in a rate.
My student loans have been a variable rate since I graduated in 97, but deferred until 2000 bec I was in grad school.
Anyway, the rate right now is like 2.17 for all 4 loans.
Should I lock in a rate and consolidate?
Are the rates really going up?
They said the same thing last summer and my rate actually went down.

Re: Are student loan rates really going up?
I saw something on Good Morning America about this last week - the financial person was on and said it is a good idea to do it now - I think before July 1st to lock in the rate, since the rates will be going up.
I found the story on their site:

Re: Are student loan rates really going up?
I called and they are definitely going up drastically July 1st.
Liz--You can consolidate while in school, but only for the amount you have received so far (so no future loans).
