Mostly, I believe, it's because 18-year-olds starting out their college careers in the financial aid office are naive, believing that somehow they'll make so much money upon graduation that repayment will be both quick and easy. If I could meet with these stu- dents and their parents before they start taking on student loans, here's what I would advise: 1) Borrow the very least you absolutely need to squeak by, not the most. Stick with federal loans, not private education loans. That means getting a job, maybe two, while you are in col- lege so that as much as possible, you are paying as you go. This may be hard. Really hard. But that will be child's play com- pared with how hard it will be to repay student debt after you graduate. 2) The minute you sign that student loan, begin to make monthly interest payments. Yes, I know you are not required to make any payments until six months after you graduate, but that is the foolish way to go. Unless you have a subsidized loan (rare these days), interest begins to accrue the minute you sign the paper. When you're not paying, that accrued interest is added to the principal, so next month you'll be accru- ing interest on the interest. That is called "com- pounding," and it's a killer when you are the borrower. I think the word "avalanche" should give you a visu- al illustration of what can happen. By making the small interest pay- ments from the get-go, you'll keep things under control. a life of ease because you've just spent four years as a starving college student. You are not. In fact, you may need to consider moving back home to keep your cost of living low. Once freed of the debt, you'll be in a position to get on with your life. If this all sounds 3) The minute you graduate, begin making your scheduled pay- ments. Don't wait for six months, and do not look into forbearance or deferment, even if you think you might qualify. Delaying only makes the pain of repayment worse. Infinitely worse. Come up with your own three-year pay- ment plan, not the lender's 30- year plan. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate scary, consider this alter- native before you start borrowing money to pay for college: Opt for com- munity college for the first two years. You'll get the same basic general education courses that you'd take at a university, but for a fraction of the cost. Work as much as you can in those first two years to save up to pay for your last two years at a four-year college or university. That's how you avoid student loans for life.
