MADISON, Wis. — July 1 is the deadline for a decision that could mean big money for those with student loans.
Each year, thousands of students decide whether to consolidate their student loans, but this year, it’s thousands of dollars ride on making that decision by the Friday deadline.
“I had no idea that I had to consolidate until a few weeks ago when I got all these notices in the mail,” said recent UW graduate Katie Doherty. She has about $30,000 in loans, so saving money in repayment is important.
