great  question ...student loans are  tricky  .....depending on the  type of student loan you have  and the loan program you might use - the loan underwriting  may vary  based on what payment is  used  for  qualifying  purposes .....if your payment  you make  on the loan is a fixed/ constant amount and if its a  fully amortized amount for the loan  and  if this amount appears on your credit report - more than likley  this is the amount that will be used in your  qualifying ( debt/ income )  ratios ........if this isn't the  case - the lenders may use  1% of the  loan amt ( which  could be higher that the actual payment you make ) ...............get in touch  with a lender / loan officer ...get pre approved  so you know how this  is treated   ..this process is  free and  should be relatively easy .....by doing this  you will answer many of your own questions ...I hope this  helps
