I'd add a couple of suggestions that have zero cost associated with them: -increase your financial savviness and literacy... there are so many FREE classes on finances and debt offered! And while they aren't all great, you can definitely become smarter and savvier over time. -find a *good* not for profit/non profit financial advisory service... for a lot of folks coming out of college, loan repayment/debt consolidation isn't something they understand... it's good to have someone helping you through the process (again... take this with a grain of salt... use an organization that's GOOD and/or referred by someone you trust) -some graduate/professional schools will pay off your student loans, or offer you credit towards paying off your loans. For example, if you are a Mellon-Mays fellow and you pursue a PhD within 36 months of graduating from college, you are eligible for 10,000 in loan repayment and 5,000 in graduate enhancement money.
