Keeping this in view, do you pay back unsubsidized loans?

When prioritizing loan repayments, it's a good idea to repay your Direct Unsubsidized Loans first before paying back your Direct Subsidized Loans. Because an unsubsidized loan continues accruing interest while in school, the balance of your unsubsidized loans will be larger unless you paid the interest while in school.

Is unsubsidized or subsidized loan better?

If you meet the financial need requirements to qualify for subsidized loans, you'll pay less over time. That's because while your subsidized loan for undergraduate study will carry the same interest rate as an unsubsidized loan, interest won't accrue while you're still in college and during other periods of nonpayment.
