Invest 2k or use it towards college?

Hello, I’m going off to college in less than a month and I got a lot of scholarships and a decent amount of federal aid. I would like to say that I am very lucky and grateful to have gotten as much aid as I did. I’m looking at about 9k a year that I will need to attend out of pocket. I’m not in a position where I cannot rely on anyone in my family to help me pay for college. I have $2,000 that I could contribute to college for my freshman year which would leave me with a loan for around 7k. My question is, being so young would it do me better to just put the 2k into my Roth IRA and let it accumulate during the 4 years I will be in college? And just loan the 9k?
