Can I consolidate student loans with other types of debt?
It’s possible to consolidate student loans with other types of debt if you take out a personal or home equity loan. Some people prefer to do this as part of a larger debt consolidation plan.
However, you’ll have even less flexibility when it comes to repayments and lose eligibility for almost all forgiveness programs — even those available to private student loan providers. Unless your debts are extremely unmanageable, you might want to stick to a student loan refinancing provider.
