Private loan companies offer rates that are generally governed by prevailing market terms, which are almost always higher than those guaranteed by federal loan programs.
These loans usually have a variable, not a fixed interest rate, which means that the cost of borrowing may go up substantially over the life of the loan.
They often come with additional costs, such as origination fees, and penalties.

They usually do not offer deferment and forgiveness options,
