My GF has student loan debt of about $11k. I think it's through Sallie Mae, but her interest rate is something like 6%. I had some student loan debt back in the early 2000's and I was also with Sallie Mae, but my interest rate was something ridiculous like 1.3%

Can someone refinance their student loan debt and try to get the low interest rates right now? Just curious, as lower interest would really help.

I wish.

Most fed stafford loans now are 6.5 +/- .25. the federal direct program gives you the option to consolidate all of your remianing "private" loans, but at >6% in most cases.

Can't balance transfer them either.
