Loan Consolidation Information / Questions?

I just graduated from law school (recently) and I am considering loan consolidation. I have 120,000 + in loans, some of which were purchased by the government. I was wondering if anyone could provide accurate information or provide a site that provides information regarding the differences between consolidation with my lender (GBA) from the federal government. I understand that the consolidation that the benefits I get a "total" loans and send a check to one place and that the interest rate is on average (which may or may not be an advantage). I'm just curious if there is something more to the types of consolidation or the advantages / disadvantages between the two I may be a misunderstanding or missing.

Maybe you could try calling each lender (I thought that the gov't gave money these days) and ask for details if you were to consolidate with them. Then he weighed. I should mention how point it was nice to read a post with perfect diction! It is a rarity here, so I had to answer!
