I hope this is the right forum to ask this. I’m an incoming D1 student with 15k in loans from undergrad and probably will end up with 270k at the end of dental school (without interest). I’ve been stressing about the amount for some time now. I don’t think I’ll have the time or energy to work especially my first two years in dental school so I can’t make any interest or principal payments. I know I’ll have to pay interest on interest so I don’t know how much that’s going to accumulate to. But I just want some assurance from current healthcare student or professionals that it’s ok to not make payments and still be able to pay it off once I graduate. Also, is it better to pay off debt ASAP or to stretch it over 10-20years since not all debt is bad and I can investment whatever I save after small loan repayments
