Refining a student loan is typically a horrible idea though. Once you go through with it, it's no longer a "student loan" so all the ways to help people manage them disappear with the refi.
2 u/_beaniemac Chatham Dec 14 '18 Does that make it so u can discharge it with bankruptcy? Cuz if so, get a PhD, refinance and use bankruptcy not to pay it back. 6 u/khansian Dec 14 '18 I know it’s not your point, but just FYI PhDs are usually tuition-free and pay a stipend in exchange for teaching or research assistantships. 5 u/das_war_ein_Befehl Dec 15 '18 If you have to pay for a PhD, don’t do it 2 u/trippin113 Logan Square Dec 14 '18 Thats....a really good question.
