Should I ask someone to cosign my student loan?

If you don’t qualify for graduate loan on your own, you can consider asking a friend or relative to cosign your loans. Cosigners should understand how it works and the potential risks. Cosigners are equally responsible for repaying the debt just like the student borrower. Being a cosigner affects your credit and will increase your debt-to-income ratio. This could make it more difficult to get approved for other loans, such as credit cards, auto loans and home mortgages.
