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.
