In the USA, if the student loan is Federal like a Stafford or Perkins loan, then yes you can cosign with bad credit. If the student loan is a private student loan, then no, you must have good credit.

Keep in mind, you should never take out private student loans out until you have used up Federal loans, grants, and scholarships. Private student loans have high interest rates and no benefits.

It will if the primary borrower does not keep the terms of the agreement. It will also affect the person's credit score such as the income-to-debt-to- credit ratio.

How are student loan consolidation interest rates calculated?

They are directly determined by the amount of existing credit a person has, and the score of that credit. If a person has bad credit, they will need to find a person (typically their parent) to co-sign the loan. The co-signer assumes responsibility for the loan if it is not paid by the person who originally takes out the loan.
