How hard is it to get a car loan as a graduate student? I am graduating from college this year but am planning on doing a 1-year graduate program. I had my own car that my parents bought me but it was totalled in a freak accident. They purchased a new car with the insurance money and I got my dad's old car. Technically, the car I have is supposed to go to my brother and since we won't be living together next year one car between the two of us won't work. Most car loans I have looked at have an immediate income requirement and unless someone "holds" a job for me while I'm in grad school the most I will have is $300 a month in income. I am thinking of trying to take out extra money via student loans since this will be a "necessary" expense for my schooling. Any ideas/suggestions? I would imagine that my credit score is rather high--I use credit cards wisely and always pay the bill in full & on time. Due to my parents' requirement that my car have ABS and side curtain airbags (they said they'd pay for insurance until after school), the car I would buy would have to be new or only a few years old (meaning that I would have to spend at least $10,000).

Can a student loan issuing company (private bank) force you to pay off the student loan before you graduate?

Can I take them to court to stop trying to collect since I'm still a full-time student? Can their actions disqualify me from obtaining any future financial aid. Please help me with your suggestions. (especially if you are familiar with Financial aid rules or have been in a similar situation). Thanks

Are Graduate Student loan rates fixed? What about consolidating? Are graduate student loan rates fixed at 6.8%? I have my undergraduate loans (1999-2003) and they are under the variable rate that just dropped. I started graduate school in 2005 and just graduated in 2008. The fixed rates began for loans after 7/1/06. So it should be one year of variable...if graduate loans become fixed. It is hard to tell if the fixed status applies to graduate loans also. What do you think? Consolidate undergraduate loans with the one year of graduate.....and leave the other graduate ones alone (if they are fixed)?
In how much student loan debt will you be by the time you graduate? how much are you actually paying for your education (degree) and what is your major?
