<prompt> Human: Hello, I have two direct unsubsidized student loans through nelnet. I was considering starting my repayment as I work and attend school so as to mitigate my expenses post graduation. I contacted NelNet and was told by two different reps that the only way I could begin making payments to my account was by requesting my account status by changed from in school.Is this for real? I find it hard to believe I am not given the option to pay down my debt while still attending school. Does anyone have any info on this? If I am posting to the wrong place, my apologies, and could anyone suggest a more appropriate sub?Best and thank you kindly!  <response>: I had a loan through Nelnet and paid it all off when I was on an internship. I just did it online, didnt have any trouble at all.
