Recent Graduate with LOANS - what are my options?

I am a recent college graduate with a considerable amount of school loans to repay. The interest rates that I currently have are reasonable, but in the long run I will be paying much more. What are my best options? I've considered getting a loan from my bank to repay it all at once and just repay my bank (if they have a lower rate, that is)?

I would find a company or bank that you can consolidate your loans with, so the interest rate stays at the low rate that it is now. That's what I did for my loans. I consolidated with ACS and Citibank. I'm not sure why it ended up being both, but both companies are good.

try calling Sallie Mae, as they can consolidate your loans, as well as lock you into a fixed interest rate

In Australia we take out "HECS" debts to pay our uni fee's,then you don't have to start repaying untill you earn a certain amount and its interest free forever.
