Answer: as soon as the loan is disbursed.
Explanation: With most non‑subsidized (unsubsidized) student loans, interest begins accruing from the date the loan is disbursed — including while you’re in school, during grace periods, and in deferment/forbearance. (Subsidized loans are the exception: the government pays interest during certain in‑school and deferment periods.) Tip: if you can, pay the accruing interest while in school to avoid capitalization and higher overall cost.
