Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is not permissible for a student to take an interest bearing loan. The extra amount is also regarded to be Haraam and therefore the money cannot be used to purchase anything.

And Allah knows best
