Is it a good idea for an unemployed college student to use a student?
Under most cases I would say no. The only way that I would use a student loan to purchase a car was if I had a very solid plan to graduate and pay off the loan, and if I absolutely needed the car for my education. For example, you might need to car to get to classes or to get to an internship. Under most cases I think that you should just go without a car until you have graduated and found a job.
