What Are Loans?

Student loans are another option for students to help alleviate the financial burden that comes with being a student. Loans must be paid back, and come in various forms ranging from subsidized, where interest does not begin to accrue until you graduate, unsubsidized, where interest accumulates as soon as the loan is disbursed, PLUS loans that must begin being paid off 60 days after the first disbursement, and private loans from outside sources that have varying interest rates and plans.
