Correct answer:
"An unsubsidized loan starts incurring interest from the moment it is paid out vs a subsidized loan where the federal government pays the interest until 6 months after graduation."

Explanation: For federal Direct Subsidized Loans, the government pays the interest while you're in school at least half-time and during the 6-month grace period after you leave school. For Direct Unsubsidized Loans, interest accrues from disbursement and is your responsibility.
