Most people get their loans consolidated after school; usually, after a few years of on-time payments, your interest rate will be lowered. Also, if you agree to do automatic debit, your rate could be lowered as well. My loans--federal and private--were NEVER as high as 8 percent; they hovered somewhere around 2.5-5% before I locked them in.
