withdraw ISA savings OR another student loan?

I am returning to university as a mature student and will need some money!
I have got some, invested in an ISA - which includes an unused student loan from last time I was a student.
Should I use this or would it be beneficial to get another student loan?

Thanks for your help.

    Student loan. It's free money - accruing interest at the rate of inflation. I would give an arm and a leg for some of that. Hopefully Your ISA is gaining in value in real terms (if not, move it so it is!).
