Question

If you take out a $30,000 student loan at 6%:

1 you will only need to pay back the amount you borrowed
2 you will need to pay back only the interest on the amount you borrowed
3 once you graduate you will have a monthly payment of about $255 each month for the next 15 years
4 your parents are liable for your debt

Answer 1

The answer would be:

3 once you graduate you will have a monthly payment of about $255 each month for the next 15 years

Every year 6% of your debt increases as the interest rate is charged, that´s why the grand total of your actual debt is not 30,000 anymore, is 45,900 dollars once you´ve added the interests.

Answer 2

If you take out a $30,000 student loan at 6% once you graduate you will have a monthly payment of about $255 each month for the next 15 years. The monthly payment of $255 is already inclusive of the payment of the principal amount and the interest.
