Consolidate student loans

I consolidated my student loans with my lenders. The interest rate is going up and if I did this I could save myself some money. Unfortunately I lose my 6 months grace period. Not that I really needed it. Check one more thing off of my list. My total costs for finishing up at the college were something like 15,000. Of course this did not include the clep tests and extra money I paid along the way, but not bad for a bachelors degree. (Does not include the cost of classes that transferred in)
