Paying Back Your Student Loans

Although you can choose to defer some loan repayments for a short time after graduating,

you are expected to pay your student loans back once the grace period has ended.

Research available repayment options, including consolidation, directly with your loan provider.
Look for supplemental / additional repayment options that may offer incentives like the Loan Forgiveness Programs for public service employees and teachers.
