<prompt> Human: A younger family member needs me to cosign on their Freshman year tuition. I plan on going to law school next year, and expect to have to take out a hefty student loan for myself for this. I do have a sure partner who would cosign for my student loan when the day arrives.My question is, would being cosigned to my family members student loan affect my ability to get a student loan for grad school in the near future?  <response>: Yea if youre cosigned on a loan its basically your loan.
