What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $33,500. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $389 a month, about $46,676 repaid in total, of which $13,176 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $237 a month — but the total climbs to $71,031, roughly $24,356 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

Borrow $33,500 and repay it over 25 years instead of 10, and you pay $24,356 more — $71,031 in all, about 2.1× what you borrowed. The monthly payment is smaller; the loan is not.
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.
