Banks view student loans as good debt. The interest tends to be low because they are guaranteed and the payments can be strung out for years so the payments will be low.

That being said, it is still debt. You are spending money that you don’t have yet. Low interest is still interest. It is almost impossible to get out of paying them back as well.

A question asked by myyahooanswersaccount1184: Do I accept private student loans after I am approved just like I did with my federal loans?
Lost my job and now I don’t have enough money to pay my bills through the rest of the semester. For federal student loans I applied for them, was shown how much I could borrow, and accepted what I wanted. Do private student loans work the same way?
I’ve applied for over 30 jobs in the last month and haven’t even gotten an interview :(

Not exactly. You must have a cosigner with great credit and a high income. If you don’t have that, you won’t get approved for a private student loan.

If i were you, i’d find another job.
