My understanding is that you pay after graduation, but the interest begins to accrue immediately. You can choose to pay that interest as you go or have it added to the principle balance at graduation time.

We wanted our son to take out student loans so he’d “have some skin in the game” as my husband likes to say, but he only qualified for unsub stafford and we don’t like that interest situation, but eh, whatta ya gonna do.
