a student from going to a private bank, taking out a loan and spending it on his or her education is there??? just don't call it a student loan.. stick it to those assholes in washington..
 
Banks require collateral for loans.

Student loans have been backed by taxpayers for years. (One of the big causes of education inflation, btw - too much easy taxpayer money).

Students lack a borrowing base and income qualification - won't work, especially with the new regulations and capital requirements being put in place.

but their mommies and daddies have the collateral and the borrowing power.. stick it to those suckers in dc who think they can dicate who the fuck you will or will not borrow money from..
 
No idea where you are going with this. Students that don't qualify for student loans don't normally need them.
 
Yes, parents can cosign for loans.

They'd be better off taking out home equity loans and writing off the interest. You can't do that with college loans.
 
You can't write off interest from home equity loans.
Edit: oops, I was thinking of something else.

Uh...yes you can. There's just a limit to the amount that qualifies.

IRS Publication 936

Home Equity Debt

If you took out a loan for reasons other than to buy, build, or substantially improve your home, it may qualify as home equity debt. In addition, debt you incurred to buy, build, or substantially improve your home, to the extent it is more than the home acquisition debt limit (discussed earlier), may qualify as home equity debt.

Home equity debt is a mortgage you took out after October 13, 1987, that:

-Does not qualify as home acquisition debt or as grandfathered debt, and

- Is secured by your qualified home.

Example.

You bought your home for cash 10 years ago. You did not have a mortgage on your home until last year, when you took out a $20,000 loan, secured by your home, to pay for your daughter's college tuition and your father's medical bills. This loan is home equity debt.
Home equity debt limit. There is a limit on the amount of debt that can be treated as home equity debt. The total home equity debt on your main home and second home is limited to the smaller of:

- $100,000 ($50,000 if married filing separately), or

- The total of each home's fair market value (FMV) reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of its home acquisition debt and grandfathered debt. Determine the FMV and the outstanding home acquisition and grandfathered debt for each home on the date that the last debt was secured by the home.

so only people with well off parents should be allowed college? what if your parents credit is bad which generally isn't because of hte kid's action?
 
You're probably thinking of credit card debt and car loans. Such interest used to be deductible many years ago - but no more.

There is always the old fashioned way - working one's way through school.

Many of us have done and are doing it.
 
also, banks would basically have to do the exact same thing student loan people are doing. you pay 0 on student loans until you graduate and you acquire 0 interest until you start paying. your amount due per month is also scaled to your post-grad job salary. I seriously doubt many banks are going to agree to terms like that.

besides state colleges I doubt you could pay-as-you-go on part time jobs. I do think jobs while in school would cut out alot of the partying and time wasting done by many students. I honestly think work-study programs are the best option, but they need to have higher wages to be reasonable.

What's the matter, Willow? Were you too stupid to qualify for a student loan?:lol:

Yeah great idea, and then when Junior the free spirit drops out in his 3rd year and heads for Patagonia to find himself, you and mom can pay off the loan.

I'm not advocating it - but if the parents are inclined to get a loan, the home equity option is less expensive.

(I worked my way through school without borrowing a dime :) )

Why can't kids work their way through College? I did. And when I got out, there were no loans to pay off.
