Getting a loan on a car would require you to make payments immediately unlike a student loan that would have the option to defer payments until you leave school.

If you have the credit and income to obtain a car loan, you could apply for a private student loan. These are loans given specifically for educational expenses. i.e. computer for school, books, rent and even food.

If you want to get a loan like this a couple of places I recommend trying is Chase Bank, they have a private student loan division and you can apply online anytime through http://www.usadegrees.com/chase/ and also Student Loan Advisors at http://www.StudentLoanAdvisors.com

Since these are specialized loans provided by private lenders. Each lender has their own guidelines, rates terms and repayment options. By dealing directly with the departments that handle these loans you’ll get all the information you need to make an informed decision.
