Find Student Loan Consolidation

I am a graduate student and I am 33 years old. The only information I can locate is geared towards young students. I have a crippling amount of credit card debt but I am currently enrolled in a graduate program and I am eligible for enough excess student loan money to pay off the credit card debt. I realize this is simply “moving debt” but student loans are far more forgiving, can be delayed until after I graduate, and carry only a fraction of the interest rate. Why would I not borrow the maximum allowable amount on a student loan, and apply it towards high interest credit card debts now? Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated!
