Student Loan Rates Just Jumped—Here’s the Scoop

Private student loan rates are climbing again! Fixed rates for 10-year loans just hit 8.51%, up over a full percent from last week. Variable rates? They’re even higher at 9.89%. If you’re shopping for a loan, compare your options and don’t forget—federal loans usually have better perks. Pro tip: only borrow what you’ll make in your first year out of college. Got a co-signer? You’ll probably snag a better rate! #StudentLoans #CollegeFinance #MoneyMatters #LoanTips #HigherEd #Education
