What does the default rate mean?
A student is considered to be in default on a student loan if they have not made a payment in more than 270 days. The official student loan default rate for a school is calculated by measuring how many students are in default three years after graduation.

Review financial aid offers carefully and be honest with yourself about whether you can truly afford this college. If you will need to utilize loans each year, be sure to calculate the total amount borrowed after four to five years, and an estimated monthly payment. If your loan includes an unsubsidized amount, can you afford to make the interest payments while you are attending college? If not, be sure to add that to the total.
Asking the tough questions now can help prevent you from starting your future with a large amount of debt that you cannot reasonably afford.

What's the difference? Unsubsidized student loans accrue interest each month, even while you are in college. Unless you pay that interest each month, what you owe after graduation might surprise you.
