- Government Unsubsidized Loans: Students can choose to make payments while they are still i school, or capitalize the interest until after graduation. It is possible to gain unsubsidized loans from many places but to get the best interest rates students must meet a certain pre-determined criteria presented by loaner
Capitalization: you can skip the interest payments, however you still owe the money and have to pay eventually, when you will pay more because even by capitalizing your loan it continues to grow, which causes higher monthly payments.
