Interesting that they distinguish. I checked again, our CU just has some general statement that says the home equity loan/LOC can be used for home improvements, higher education as a couple examples. Since the loan is collateralized, I *guess* they don't really care what you do with it.

The same CU has separate private edu loans, not very attractive terms, IMO - 6% floor variable.
