<p>Like a lot of other Americans, I have a mix of private and federal government student loans. I've heard it's near impossible to consolidate the two together, so I was hoping I could confirm that here. Are there really no easy ways to consolidate both private a federal loans? I don't necessarily need to reduce the monthly payments, it would just be easier for me if I could have it all as one automatic direct payment, instead of a bunch of different one's transacting all over the month.</p>
<p>Thanks, if anyone can help.</p>
