A federal Stafford loan does NOT require a cosigner. If you do co-sign a private loan, both parties have liability to the debt. The co-signer is liable for the balance just as if they had co-signed for the student for a car, signature loan, mortgage, etc. It is just a different type of loan that can be taken out from the bank. Liability standards/payment terms can verify by the qualifications of the co-signer or student - so an inquiry to the banking institution you would do these loans for would be the safest bet.
They can't. Once someone consigns for any type of financial transaction, they are basically stuck for the duration. Their credit is equally affected if the lending terms are defaulted.
