Student Loan Consolidation
Student loan consolidation is an action whereby a student's debt is rationalized into a new account with a reduced interest rate in order to lower the monthly burden of servicing the debt.
Going about student loan consolidation should be a careful process. There are many factors to consider in the rationalization process. You will usually be transferring credit card debt (which generally attracts higher rates of interest) to a structured loan with a built-in repayment plan (which will typically attract a lower interest rate). If the student loan consolidation involves taking out a secured loan (that is, secured on someone's property - usually their home) then the interest rate can be significantly lower.
Bear in mind, though, that a secured loan always carries with it the risk that the property secured upon it may be forfeit if the repayments are not met. Student loan consolidation which involves securing the loan on property effectively puts that property at risk if the repayments suddenly cannot be met.
Student Loan Consolidation - The Aftermath
If you want to consolidate student debt it is worth bearing in mind that the debt will probably be more than you thought it would be. So if you want to write off the whole debt by replacing it with a much reduced APR (like the kind you get on a secured loan, for example), then you may as well go all the way. Factor in all the additional expenses right up to graduation, and include the graduation party and any funding for time spent after graduation for chilling out.
If the student in question plans a gap year after graduation (which sometimes happens) that will have to be funded as well.
