I have a question that may be silly/dumb to some, but that I need to ask out of curiousity
I have $30k in private school loans that I used for school building up at an interest rate of 9%
I just got into med school, and according to the estimate, I will get tuition covered (thank God)
I got housing taken care of
Now, considering that my private loans are building up....
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take out the max number of federal schools loans from my med school each of the four years to be able to pay for my private loans?
my school loans would be both subsidized and unsubsidized with a %5 rate and 6% rate, respectively. (the rates and conditions for these loans are way better)
I don't know much about refinancing and loan consolidation...I could go and learn more about it..
but just to get some input, and to see if anyone has thought of or done something similar....would this be a good idea?
