I am confused about two different offers I’ve been given for student loans. One lender is offering me the Prime Rate (currently 8.25%) + 0% extra, while the other lender is offering me the LIBOR rate (currently 5.360%) + 3.6%. I was told that the Prime Rate decreases slower than the LIBOR (if it does occur). The LIBOR fluctuates quarterly, while I guess the Prime Rate changes annually?
Which is a smarter deal? I find this confusing.
