i just called the student loan people to ask why was i set up to begin re-paying student loans when i haven't graduated yet. she told to that there was anerror made by the school i attend and to download a form which would solve the problem. i asked what i thought was a stupid question "can i begin to payback my student loans before i graduate?" she told yes and that my question wasn't stupid it actually i pretty smart thing to ask. She took a look atmy account ( i owe $8,000 on a subsidized loan) and told me if i waited to graduate before i paid back that loan the interest alone would make that loanincrease by an additional $3,000. Mind you i told her i plan on finishing in a year or so. She told me to send in whatever i can, whenever i can because itwould save a lot in the long run. She helped me out so I just want to pass that on to anyone who is interested. I plan on setting up an account on-line with mychecking acct so i can do a little something with that student loan. There are no additional fees for paying down your loan while in school.( I just had to askthat)
