Investing student loans?
I have been considering taking out a student loan and then just sticking it into an index fund and letting it grow through college. The fact that they don't have an interest rate and don't have to be paid off till a couple months after graduation make it seem like an easy way to make some money.
Has anyone here ever done this before and if so any insight into it would be nice. FYI I'm a freshman so I'll have a couple of years for the money to accumulate. Also I have just a basic understanding of stocks and have only invest a couple of grand in an index.
Thanks for the advice.
