Are any private student loans still considered government loans?

No, by definition, private student loans are not government student loans. Federal student loans are guaranteed by the US, govt, and the govt sets the interest rates and determine the policies around loan limits and repayment. Private student loans are provided by banks, credit unions and other financial institutions such as Sallie Mae. Because they are not guaranteed, they are much higher risk to the lenders, so they are typically credit based. This means interest rates are variable, and determined by the borrower's credit history. Because most student's haven't had a change to acquire good credit, having a co-signer with good credit almost always improves the interest rate. Banks don't have any collateral for student loans.
