A majority of college students require some financial aid to attend their school and federal student loans are one option for funding an education. Federal student loans have a set interest rate and a grace period for repayment once the student drops below half-time in school.

Subsidized loans do not accrue interest during the time an individual is in school but have lower limits for borrowing than unsubsidized loans.

No, by definition, private student loans are not government student loans. Federal student loans are guaranteed by the US, govt, and the govt sets the interest rates and determine the policies around loan limits and repayment. Private student loans are provided by banks, credit unions and other financial institutions such as Sallie Mae. Because they are not guaranteed, they are much higher risk to the lenders, so they are typically credit based. This means interest rates are variable, and determined by the borrower's credit history. Because most student's haven't had a change to acquire good credit, having a co-signer with good credit almost always improves the interest rate. Banks don't have any collateral for student loans.
