Students have the option of accepting subsidized or unsubsidized loans or both and this can impact repayment of the loan. Subsidized loans do not accrue interest during the time an individual is in school but have lower limits for borrowing than unsubsidized loans.

It depends on a few things like which loan you get (federal, private, subsidized, unsubsidized) and what your financial situation is, esp. credit report and score. Federal loans offer the lowest rate. subsidized federal loans (stafford) have their interest paid by the Gov't. unsubsidized federal loans do not, but the interest you pay is very low (6-7%) and you don't have to make any payments until 1 year after you graduate. Private loans have much higher interest rates and you must pay the interest regularly while you are in school. Private loans are especially dependent on your credit, so if your rockin' a 750, you should be ok...450, well, consider community college...its way cheaper!
A fixed rate loan, like the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, are loans whose interest rate stays the same during the entire duration of the loan and during the time of payment.
You could search on www.studentloans.gov and apply for federal student aid or apply for subsidized or unsubsidized loans with low interest rates or you could question your financial aid officer on your institution.
An unsubsidized loan is simply a student loan which make it possible for students to finance an education while attending a college or university. To obtain most loans, you must submit a credit check.
