  1. Don't worry about not being able to make a payment on your student loans if something unexpected like job loss has happened. Most lenders will let you postpone payments when experiencing hardship. Make sure you realize that going this route may result in increased interest.
  2.  
  3. Do not hesitate to "shop" before taking out a student loan. Just as you would in other areas of life, shopping will help you find the best deal. Some lenders charge a ridiculous interest rate, while others are much more fair. Shop around and compare rates to get the best deal.
  4.  
  5. Don't be driven to fear when you get caught in a snag in your loan repayments. Job loss and health crises are bound to pop up at one point or another. Do be aware of your deferment and forbearance options. Just know that the interest will build up in some options, so try to at least make an interest only payment to get things under control.
  6.  
  7. Focus initially on the high interest loans. Basing payments on the highest and lowest amounts can make you end up paying more money later.
  8.  
  9. If you want to give yourself a head start when it comes to repaying your student loans, you should get a part-time job while you are in school. If you put this money into an interest-bearing savings account, you will have a good amount to give your lender once you complete school.
  10.  
  11. Be sure to read and understand the terms of any student loans you are considering. It is important that you ask questions to clarify anything that is not really clear to you. Don't let the lender take advantage of you.
  12.  
  13. To keep Jenis , complete your first two years of school at a community college before transferring to a four-year institution. The tuition is significantly lower your first two years, and your degree will be just as valid as everyone else's when you graduate from the larger university.
  14.  
  15. You should consider paying some of the interest on your student loans while you are still in school. This will dramatically reduce the amount of money you will owe once you graduate. You will end up paying off your loan much sooner since you will not have as much of a financial burden on you.
  16.  
  17. Check with a variety of institutions to get the best arrangements for your federal student loans. Some banks and lenders may offer discounts or special interest rates. If you get a good deal, be certain that your discount is transferable should you decide to consolidate later. This is also important in the event your lender is bought by another lender.
  18.  
  19. To stretch your student loan dollars as far as possible, make sure you live with a roommate instead of renting your own apartment. Even if it means the sacrifice of not having your own bedroom for a couple of years, the money you save will come in handy down the road.
  20.  
  21. Get all the federal loans you can prior to looking into private financing. Federal loans are sought after because they have a fixed interest rate. A fixed rate loan will present no surprises. When you're able to figure out what you can expect, it will make monthly payments easy.
  22.  
  23. To get the most out of your student loan dollars, take as many college credit courses as you can while you are still in high school. Often, these only involve the cost of the end-of-course tests, if they involve any cost at all. If you do well, you get college credit before you finish high school.
  24.  
  25. Being an educated borrower is the best way to avoid costly and regrettable student loan disasters. Take the time to look into different options, even if it means adjusting your expectations of college life. So take the time to learn everything there is to know about student loans and how to use them wisely.
