10 years - exactly the length of the loan term (still in process - could’ve easily paid it off after the first year, was a ~$25k loan). Paying it off early typically doesn’t make financial sense unless you have some unusually high interest rate.

10 years is the standard loan term I believe for direct unsubsidized loans through the us dept of education. I don’t recall the details but don’t remember getting any other options re: length.

It’s going to vastly differ based on amount of loans, spending levels, etc. You should be able to easily model this out based on your own expenses

Its going to take me about 12-13 years

assuming you want to pay it within 2/3 years?
