My older brother is currently going to a university with some pretty hefty student loans. I kinda tossed the idea presented from this Thread to him and he was wondering if a student loan would work the same way as this. Im gonna put out a scenario, Say someone already had loans for their school taken care of, BUT they opened another Student loan for $50k, and you don't have to start paying until your "done with school" (3-6 yrs). Could u keep all of this money in a CD or bond for those years and then just snag the interest and pay back the loan in full as soon as your done with school so you wont pay any interest on the loan? My brother said the loan would be around 8% apr so i wanna konw what u folks think, and if that would work.
