Being a student in one of the most expensive cities in the world can be challenging, and receiving your loan may feel like a seat on the northern line at 8am - a rare but delightful treat. Some will say enjoy it while you can - buy those shoes you’ve always wanted, splurge away because, what a time it is to be alive with a four digit number in your bank account.
