Everyone swears by sofi

Agreed, Sofi seems to be good.

May want to talk to a tax professional if you are refinancing public/federal loans. You will change some things (e.g., ability to use loan repayment programs, ability to discharge loans in case of death, etc).

 

[PsychBoxe]

I agree with WisNeuro. I would hold off until you are confident in how you plan to repay your loans.

The higher the loan amount, the tougher it will get for an international student, because the bank / lending officer will find it riskier to lend to someone who (a) does not have a high income and (b) won’t stay in the country for the duration of the loan
