In 6 months or so, recently graduated college students will have to face the prospect of paying on the student loans incurred while in college. For some, this will be a nightmare for some as the job marked is tough. The Department of Education is not going to wait for payment. So here are a couple of helpful hints.
- Ascertain the balances of all your student loans, track them down through the National Student Loan Data System. www.nslds.ed.gov.
- If there are private loans out there, get all that information as well.
- Inform all student loans of your present mailing address and keep them informed of your current contact information
- Begin paying on them as soon as possible
- Pay the largest balances first as these loans have a percentage of interest which will accumulate.
- Compare the interest rates of these loans and pay the highest interest rate one first.

You may be able to consolidate all of your loans into one lower interest rate loan. For more information http://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/
