What is the best way to pay off both student loans and private student loans?

Kenny N. from Arkansas asked: I used a mixture of Federal and Private Student Loans during college. My grace period ends in about a month. Is there a better way of paying my student loans off rather than paying each separately? There are I believe 3 stafford federal loans and 2 private student loans. Is there some form of consolidation I can do? It’s a real pain to be making 5 student loan payments every month. I’d rather just make one large payment.
What are the best companies to get private student loans from?
Brenda R. From Alaska asked: I am in the process of looking for a private student loan to cover my tuition and living expenses during college. I was told that an Astrive Student Loan is a good company to use. Are there any other good companies where a person with bad credit can get a loan? I really need some private student loan advice on this matter.
What kind of loan can I get to consolidate private student loans?
Question: I have over 100k in private student loans from several private lenders. The interest rate is out of this world due to my bad credit. Is there a way to get another loan to pay this off at a lower interest rate? What kind of student loan debt consolidation program should I be looking for? Most student loan companies only deal with Federal loans it seems. I keep seeing ads for mortgage loans with low monthly payments. Is there something like this for people like me with private student loans?
