i ask this because i am sitting at  triple A baseball game right now and these guys behind me are talking about getting madden with their student loans. Then the fat goetee one says he got a genesis as a kid then a PS one, PS2 and now a pS3 which he is buying Madden for.

 

i have never heard of such a thing. Are any of you like that?

There's no way you can get Madden with student loans. Some sort of grant, maybe, but why would you go into debt for any purpose other than tuition?

Once you get your student loan, the organization that gives it doesn't care what you use it for as long as you pay it back eventually.  The catch, of course, is that they make sure you are actually enrolled first, meaning that if you buy other things with the money, then you still have the matter of your tuition to pay.

 

OT: Not me!  I've owned every system they've made since the NES, including handhelds.  I even touched a Virtual Boy once.

Unless you take out a personal loan for tuition, i don't think that's how it works. I know in my case the loan disbursements went directly to the school. You get tax penalties if you use them for anything else anyway

Though now i've derailed the thread. Now i have to ban myself
