Student loans work on different rules than credit cards. I'm not sure if they stay, though TransUnion doesn't seem to make a distinction: https://www.transunion.com/blog/credit-advice/how-long-do-closed-accounts-stay-on-credit-report#:~:text=An%20account%20that%20was%20in,for%20up%20to%20seven%20years.

This is bad advice. Credit utilization has no memory in all popular credit scoring models. Your utilization two months ago has 0 impact on your score this month. Unless you're actively applying for credit, you should not care about your utilization, as it makes zero long term impact on building your credit. The only thing that really matters for building credit is to pay your debts on time, consistently, every time.
