Article Body:
Upon graduating from university, students often face a significant challenge: student debt. This financial burden continues to grow as banks and lenders readily offer credit during the college years. While lenders seem confident in graduates' ability to repay, new graduates are often stressed by the high proportion of their salaries devoted to debt repayment, even if the average student debt remains under £15,000.
The transition from student life to the workforce should be a time of financial improvement, but many graduates find themselves as financially strapped as they were during their studies. Much of this is due to student loans from the Student Loan Company. These have lenient repayment rules, requiring only 9% of earnings over £15,000 after graduation, and they come with low interest rates.
This approach seems manageable, but it's only part of the debt picture. Nearly all students receive interest-free overdrafts up to £2,000 with their student bank accounts, and most use this buffer completely. Additionally, credit cards and store cards are easily accessible, adding to financial strain.
Graduates also face costs such as relocating, starting jobs, and finding housing. These expenses contribute to why many graduates feel financially tight despite leaving their student life behind.
However, graduates have options to alleviate financial pressure. Graduate loans offer a grace period before repayment starts, often up to two years, with favorable interest rates. This can help ease the transition into professional life, providing some much-needed financial breathing room.
