>>The interest that a student gets on his/her loan is regulated; as you correctly assumed. Which does not preclude the parent from getting a personal load (like home equity) and paying for the child education. Almost all financial advisers warn against such practice. They say that the parent(s) should not do it.

>and loosing such business plays no role in such advice ;-) As long as you work the math to the benefit of both like the tax rules over here for loans into own business both sides will win...

I think that the logic of financial advisers is that adults/parents should worry about their retirement and not child's educational loan Another aspect is that in many cases children never pay the loan taken by the parent. And the parent will end up paying their children education loan even when they stop working (in retirement). Which is not right. The same applies to being a co-signer. I am sure you have heard the old expression that a co-signer is a "fool with a pen." :)
