What's the deal with student loan rates over the last 20 years or so?
I graduated around 2003 and my government loan (was called FAFSA, now through MOHELA) rate is 2.63%.
I hear most millennials have 5-15%+ rates.
Does the government not subsidize loans anymore?
What happened?
This still shows 3.76%... not too bad.
