C1 I’m guessing the OP is a taxpayer. Definitely not a deadbeat option to do federal loans - there’s nothing wrong with that, so not sure what you’re getting at there. I say go for it, OP - whichever you think makes the most sense for you and your financial situation.
I guarantee that there will not be federal loan forgiveness. Go with the lowest interest rates.
Also (my opinion) that's a complete scumbag move to try and reposition your borrowing for the taxpayers to potentially take on your burden.

Don't be a deadbeat.
What an out of touch, ridiculous comment. Jesus Christ. Excited for you to learn something in business school.
Can’t predict the future. I think what I’m doing is the federal Stafford for the full amount ($20K) then the remaining private. While loan forgiveness may be a thing (assuming you’re graduating from a top program) you’ll likely be the last to be forgiven because your salary will be too high to qualify (just look at the latest stipend for “everyone”). By going private you can at least take advantage of rock bottom rates.
Don’t worry too much you’re not behind. I am waiting until May for the federal interest rates to get set then checking a variety of private loan rates to see how the fed rates impacted then making a decision
The proposals I’ve seen target undergrad loans, with many caveats. Unlikely to pass in any case.
