AFAIK federal student loans with rates under the inflation rate have to be used towards education costs, and I’d be a bit surprised if you even qualify for them given that your parents are capable of paying for your education.

Investing borrowed money is rather risky. If you’re sticking to risk-free CD’s and the like, you’re looking at a 3.5% ish return (max)… you’re not going to be making much more than your borrowing cost. Stocks obviously have better potential, but it’s pretty high risk as a somewhat short term investment in this climate.
