Should I include my student loans in a home refinance?

Question by Kat: Should I include my student loans in a home refinance?
We are about to refinance our home at 3.85% for a 15-year loan. We have 40k of student loans at 5.75%. Including this amount in our mortgage will not get us to the point where we will have to pay PMI. Is this a good idea? If yes, why. If no, why not?

Best answer:

Answer by falsifiable
You can, but the amount financed cannot exceed 80% of your appraised home value.
