How Do Student Loans Work?

Student loans are a form of debt you take on to pay for college. They're different from other types of loans in that they're not guaranteed by the federal government and can't be discharged in bankruptcy. This means that when you have student loans, it's important to make sure that you pay them back as quickly as possible.

If you're having trouble paying back your student loans, there are things you can do to get out of default and start making payments again. You can also contact an attorney who specializes in representing student loan borrowers who are having financial problems because their payments aren't being made on time or at all.

Here's what you should know:

1. Student loans are not like other loans. You have to pay them back with interest, and they have variable interest rates that change over time.

2. You have to start repaying your student loans soon after graduation or losing your eligibility for federal student aid programs like Pell Grants or Stafford Loans. You'll need to make payments on time each month until your loan is paid off in full.

3. If you don't make payments on time, your loan will accrue extra interest charges and fees and those fees will add up fast!
