i have 6 total loans, minimum monthly of $218.

1) direct unsubsidized $5500 at 2.5% interest, currently $5834

2) direct unsubsidized $6500 at 3.48% interest, currently $7043

3) direct subsidized $5500 at 4.74% interest, currently $5779

4) direct unsubsidized $2000 at 4.74% interest, currently $2224

5) direct subsidized $5500 at 5.25% interest, currently $5807

6) direct unsubsidized $2000 at 5.25% interest, currently $2221

I have around $7000 in savings and could probably put maximum $350 of my checking into loans monthly. Would it be smart to put a bunch of my savings into paying off some of the smaller loans right away and just knock them out? Should I do the snowball method of minimums + whatever extra I can afford on the smallest one?
