Most lenders charge prime plus, which means prime plus whatever percentage the charge. This means that many student loans are between 2% and 6% (some higher and some lower as well), depending on the terms of the loans. The government is considering offering direct student loans, instead of giving subsidies to lenders to encourage them to offer low-rate loans. But, as with all things bureaucratic, any change (if it comes at all) comes slowly. The low Fed rate has resulted in lower interest rates on student loans, although certainly 0%.
