The interest rate for direct federal undergraduate student loans disbursed after July 1, 2024 will be 6.53%, the Department of Education announced Tuesday. That's up from the current 5.5% interest rate, and the highest rates have been since 2008, according to ED data. New graduate student loans will have an 8.08% interest rate and parent PLUS loans will come with a 9.09% rate. Here are three ways to lower your overall college costs and reduce the amount you may need to borrow. Starting your college education at a community college or trade school is one way you may be able to cut down on costs while racking up course credits.

On Oct. 18, hundreds of Berkeley High School students, with the blessing of some of their teachers, left their classrooms in the middle of the day and gathered at a nearby park. Just as on the nearby campus of the University of California — famed since the 1960s for its marches, sit-ins and progressive ideals — students at Berkeley High have a long history of hitting the streets in dissent. In the 1960s, they walked out to oppose the Vietnam War. More recently, they have shown up in droves to advocate for Black Lives Matter, immigration reform, reproductive rights and L.G.B.T.Q. But this walkout reverberated in unexpected ways through the Berkeley public school system and the city’s ordinarily tight-knit community.
