With college costs continuing to rise, parents and students are increasingly turning to private lenders to cover the cost of tuition.

From 1995 to 2006, the amount of money borrowed from private lenders to pay for college rose from $1.3 billion to $17.3 billion, according to MSN Money columnist Liz Pulliam Weston. Why should this concern you? Because not all loans are created equal.

There are three basic types of loans available to undergrads: federal loans issued directly by the government; loans from private lenders subsidized and guaranteed by the government; and private loans.

The interest rates on federal loans are typically 6.25 percent to 8 percent; interest rates on private loans regularly run from 12 percent to 13 percent and can sometimes go as high as 28 percent, according to Alan Collinge, founder of StudentLoanJustice.org, a grass-roots organization dedicated to reforming predatory lending practices.

Private loans also offer less flexibility when it comes time to pay them back, Collinge warns. There are options available to borrowers who fall behind on federal loans, such as forbearances and graduated repayment plans. Some private lenders offer help for borrowers experiencing financial hardship as well, but they tend to be less forgiving.

It’s not uncommon for a lender to significantly jack up the interest rate on a loan when you miss payments, Collinge said. Furthermore, unlike credit-card debt, private student debt isn’t wiped out if you declare bankruptcy.
