We're living in bizarro world.

Almost all of my student loans are federal anyway (and I would argue that this is the case for a good majority of people). And I've found that dealing with/paying off the federal loans is MUCH easier than the private loans. Dealing with Citibank (who owns one of my loans) has been nothing but a nightmare. They're more worried about making a profit while being repayed than in simply being repayed. The government just wants the money back. They intentionally put up obstacles to make it more difficult. Also, federal loans have a nice perk in that they waive interest until 1 year after graduation. Not all my private loans offer that. I don’t have much of a problem with this.
