College on the Cheap’s street team interviewed some college students and asked them a few questions about loans, including what the difference is between subsidized and unsubsidized loans, whether you should take out a private student loan or federal student loan first, and some basics about Stafford Loans. Their answers weren’t always spot-on, but definitely entertaining.
