so im starting college in the fall and i am lost with student loans. heres my plan right now
i need about 10k
stafford subsidized: 3500=will take this for sure
stafford unsubsidized: 3500=not sure about this
private loan: whatever is left=need to find a bank...any recommendations?
the things that is gonna decide for me is the interest rate. i can defer payments on the principal and interest rates on all of them. the stafford loans are at 6.8%. private loan is about 6% at my bank. so should i take the unsubsidized stafford loan and take the rest in private loans or skip out on the unsubsidized stafford and take about 7k in private loans?
