Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has ever used a portion of their alternative private loan to purchase a car. I'm an undergraduate student with a tuition of $17,890 a year. This will be my first time taking out a loan and when I apply next week, I want to take out an extra $14,000 to purchase a honda civic. (Just to make my life a little easier). Has anyone ever done this, and do alternative loans really give you the amount you ask for. I'm going for citibank. Any advice? THANKS.
 
I agree with mpp. Don't do it. Private loans are credit-based, and you don't want to get to med school and be unable to get private loans you may NEED later.
No private loans MAY = no med school, depending on where you go.
