It is not so much that student loans are bad but they can be burdensome and depending, on size, can follow you throughout your adult life. Ideally, you would want to have as little debt of any kind as possible. "Good" debt or not, we have a lot of 22 year olds walking around with the equivalent of a mortgage hanging over thier heads before they work a day in the real world. I have friends who have $600 a month loan payments (after consolidation etc.) because it encompasses an advance degree and undergrad plus interest from deferrment. So it depends on what kind of burden it is going to be on you, what your realistic income is going to be and how much you can afford to pay and still do the other things you need to do to enjoy your life.
