Rezension

“The book answers both the myths you thought sounded pretty great, such as 'If you go abroad after graduation, you don't have to pay back the student loan', and the ones you were probably a bit worried about like a student loan making it harder to get a mortgage…I wouldn't be able to put all the details that bust those myths into better words than Davis, so you'll have to give the book a good read!” (Life and Times of a Student, February 2016)
