Caveat: Consolidation can be advantageous if, for example, you have many loans from different agencies. However, it's important to remember that a lower monthly payment can also extend the life of your student loan indebtedness by a significant amount. A longer loan term invariably translates to paying more in interest charges in the long run. Keep that in mind when making your decision.
