Anyone know? If i consolidate my student loans, can i reconsolidate it after med school? Or do i have to wait to bundle them all together later?
Also supose you consolidate it at 3% interest rate, and then in 4 years the fed reserve raises the interest rates to 10%. So this means banks could be lending money and gettting 10% but instead they are locked in at 3%. That would really suck for the bank becuase they'd be losing about 7%. Why are they all so willing to take this risk? If i was the bank I don't know why I'd want to offer fixed rates at 3% when in another few years its liable to go up.
