✅ TAs (teaching assistants)

✅ Office hours
✅ Dorm common room meet-ups

A2. Federal loans start off on a 'standard' plan--with payments staggered to have loans paid off in 10 yrs. But that doesn't mean you can't lower your payment or pay off faster! Income-Driven plans make it possible to pay what you can based on yearly income.
