Student loan question?
Favorite Answer
You’ll be told about the interest rate before you have to sign anything and the loans may or may not be fixed.
You’ll also here about subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Subsidized means that while you’re in school the government pays the interest on your loans. Make sure to max out on subsidized loans before you get any unsubsidized loans.
Lastly, the important thing to remember if you have multiple loans is to consolidate your loans as soon as you graduate. This means you get one big loan with one bank. The end result is that you’ll pay less by doing this.
Check with your financial aid office for more details. You may qualify for scholarships or grants which might only require you to ask before they give you the money.
Oh, one other thing is work-study. If you qualify for this it basically means you can get a job that the government helps pay for. Work-study jobs are often very easy jobs where you can do your homework and/or study while getting paid.
Good Luck!
