are student loans in trouble due to the credit crisis?
Generally, federal loans shouldn’t be. However, any private loans that you would be applying for outside of that will definitely be. You may have a much harder time getting private loans, and/or the interest rates will be higher than usual. Unless you have good (better than average) credit, it would help to have a parent w/ good credit as a co-signor. That would make things easier in terms of lower payments and whatnot. However, student loans are a little more insulated from everything else credit-wise, but it’s definitely tightening up regardless.
