what is the difference between a sub and unsub loan?

I was offered a sub and unsub loan for college, what is the difference between both? Which one is better? and should I even take out the loan?

The major difference between the two is that the government will pay your interest for your Subsidized Stafford Loan as long as you stay enrolled in school. You have to pay your own interest for the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. You can find out more about the Subsidized Stafford Loan here:http://www.studentfinancedomain.com/student_loans/subsidized_stafford_loan.aspx and about the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan here: http://www.studentfinancedomain.com/student_loans/unsubsidized_stafford_loans.aspx

Hope this helps!

unsub means the loan is subject to interest as soon as you borrow.

sub means there is no interest until 6 months after you graduate. But, you can only get up to like 8500 sub and the rest is unsub. So if you are offered 10,000…youd be paying interest for 1500 of it.

Subsidized Stafford loans are need-based, and the government pays the interest on these loans while you are in school, during a six-month grace period immediately preceding repayment, and during authorized deferment.

Unsubsidized Stafford loans are not need-based, and you are responsible for all of the interest that accrues on the loan, including while you are in school.

You should not take out the loan if you don’t need the money to pay for college. If you decide you do need a loan, and if you’ve been approved for an unsubsidized stafford loan, that is probably the best option.
