I am graduating in a month and need to know when i have to start paying my student loans? I heard that i am supposed to consolidate my loans into one loan.. Is this true? Has anyone ever done this?

MLE asked:


I had a federal student loan which I consolidated about 8 years ago to someone who eventually sold that loan to Citibank. I pay about 8.35% in interest. I am considering paying off that student loan with a personal loan where I can get a better interest rate. If I do this will I still be able to write off the interest I pay on my taxes?

My parents pay for college, but I still need money for college books, car payments, and etc. Is it possible that I could have my parents pay the school, and I take out a student loan that the bank will pay to me for miscellaneous things while I am in college, so I don’t have to worry about making money while I’m in college.

If I go to graduate school, could I consolidate the undergrad loan with the loan of the graduate school, so I would not have to pay into the undergrad loan until I graduate from grad school? Thanks.
