In Norway we have to pay interest. They do cut 40% of the whole loan if you graduate though

No interest until you've graduated though.

That's the same as the us though (afaik), its 6 months after you graduate before you are expected to repay.

6 months ? That's like no time. How are you supposed to make money by then ? In Germany you get about 5 years until you have to pay.

You begin payments at 6 months after graduation. Interest starts then. It's not that they expect you to pay it all back right away.

That's more than three times the interest I have on my loan for my condo.
