If you have a subsidized loan, that means the government will pay for the interest, but the borrower will have to pay for the rest. I have a both a subsidized and unsubsidized loan with an interests rate about 10% for the total loan cost. So I pay like $200 per month on a monthly basis for a 30 year period.

That's awesome, I'm so jealous, especially at UC Berkley! Yeah the state of California is very generous with their college grants for students, that's why California has so many high ranking universities that's in the top tier in research. In Texas all you have is either University of Texas or Texas A&M (for public) and Rice, SMU, and TCU (for private).
