The interest rate should be the lowest availble if it is a government supported loan...
but my question is when does it kick in?
By rights it should be two to five years after graduation
I'm not a big fan of student loans, so I haven't spent much time considering the when and how. I think the availability of student loans has been exploited by Public and Private Universities to the detriment of the students.
In my book, if there are going to be government backed student loan programs, they should only be provided for students seeking degrees in areas where shortages of qualified employment is prevalent. For me that means engineering, and other core fields of study.
