So it's time to start paying back those student loans. The first and probably the most popular option is the standard repayment plan.

The Standard Plan is the quickest way to wipe out your debt with the least amount of interest. You'll pay a fixed amount 10 years, then you'll be debt free. You may also be able to consolidate your debts with payments as low as $50 per month.

The most significant downsides are that your payments will generally be higher each month and they're not based on your income.

This means that if you should lose your job or your income goes down, your payments will remain the same.

One caution: loan servicers will typically place you in the standard plan unless you select an alternative solution. This is the time to take charge and choose the best one for you. Now with the knowledge of what The Standard Plan includes, you can make your best educated guess about what will be best for you and your situation after college graduation.
