what is the difference between unsubsidized loans ans subsidized loans?
For subsidized loans, the government pays any interest that accrues while you’re in school and during your grace period. For unsubsidized loans, the interest continues to accrue while you’re in school and during your grace period, and you are responsible for paying it. While you are not required to make payments during that time, many people will pay the interest so as not to compound the amount due.
