What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $31,500. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $366 a month, about $43,889 repaid in total, of which $12,389 is interest.

Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $223 a month — but the total climbs to $66,791, roughly $22,902 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

An estimate, not financial advice. Straight amortization at a fixed rate: it assumes every payment is made on time and the rate never changes, and it leaves out fees, interest that accrues while you’re still enrolled, and any forgiveness or income-driven plan.
