Which loan should I accept for college: federal sub or unsub?

Question:I don't know the differences. I know that either will be paid off within a few months. But what is the difference between the two and which is the better route? Thanks!

Answers:
Go with the subsidized...

• Subsidized Stafford Loans are only open to those who demonstrate financial need. The government will pay the interest on your loan while you are in school, during grace periods, and during any deferment periods.

• Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to all students regardless of your financial need. With this loan you are responsible for the interest that stacks up during your time in college. You can either pay the interest while you are in college or wait until you graduate (or dropout).
subsidized means the government pays your interest while you're in school .. why would you not do that? LOL
Take the sub, just in case the loan doesn't get paid off as quickly as you think.
