Subsidized/UnSub Stafford Loan Question?

[jspeicher]

Hey guys, I'm taking a loan for this semester.

I know the govt pays the interest on a subsidized student loan, but does that mean its taken care of entirely? Interest doesnt accumulate on it as long as i'm in school correct? I'll just have the loan amount to pay back (plus interest after i graduate)

That's correct.

so subsidized is the smart choice, and then unsubidized if you need more financial aid. thank you sir

yes. best case is if subsidized loan was enough for your costs, but that usually isn't the case
