I'm concerned about my unsubsidized loans. Just subs. just won't cut it anymore. I'm rolling about 10K over into unsubs. loans. How bad will that be in the 4 year run? Are the interest on those things bad?

I didn't know they were that bad until I read this thread "How much unsubsidized loan to borrow? "

Still considered a dependent so I couldn't borrow a lot of money so I was not really concerned. Now, I'm thinking "I thought the government was helping me out"

I don't know if you have tried this website before: http://apps.collegeboard.com/fincalc/sla.jsp
It allows you to estimate how much monthly payments you have to make if you pay back over a period of 10 years.
