Hi!
I'm an American student in St Andrews. I was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice on loans. I'm finding it difficult to make ends meet, and would really appreciate the help of some form of student loan. My problem: My American bank will only offer a student loan paid directly to the University. I need money for rent for a non-university flat, so that doesn't work. I can't get a loan in Britain because I'm American. I'm with RBS and they won't even let me have an overdraft because I'm a foreign student.
Any information about loans or overdrafts for foreign student either here or in America, would be a big help!
Thanks!
