I can't decide whether to keep it or give it back to the loan place. Most of it is unsubsidized which means it gains interest as I stay in college (Until May). I need it to pay my rent (which is through the school), but I want to be in least amount of debt as possible when I graduate in May. So, would you keep it anyways and pay it back after school? Or would you give it back since it gains interest?

Replies LoveKay Posted at 10:24 am on Dec. 12, 2008 With most loans, if you pay on it during school, then you don't have interest building up during that time. I don't know. But you don't want to lose all your chances of even getting loans for school if you give it back, struggle with work to pay rent and then end up struggling with school. So keep it and see how it goes. Lovemetwicetoday Posted at 1:55 am on Dec. 1, 2008 Give it back and get a job. Hi James Posted at 7:08 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 I probably would of kept it and payed it back. Once you graduate, you're not guaranteed an excellent job but a good chance. So, what did you choose?

I can not really tel from the post if thats just for housing or not. If you wanna be in the least debt possible though you should not be using loans at all, so what i am saying is if you need to use it you may just have to use it and then still pay what you can while your in college. It's just extra money that was given to my school account (from the form of loans)...I can technically use it for anything, but my rent needs paid. I have a job, but it's not enough to pay my rent. It's just...argh. I think I should give it back. You could always use some for the cost of living right now while using the other part to pay some off while being in college. Unless you happen upon some money or dont mind not paying rent I do not see another way until you get  a job and bring in some money LeanneS Posted at 9:17 am on Oct. 20, 2008 Id probably keep it, and pay it back after college. I mean hopefully you would have a good paying job by then iBritt Posted at 9:12 am on Oct. 20, 2008 I would keep it and just pay it back with the rest of your loans after you graduate.
