Seeking Advice on Private Student Loans for International Students

Hello, I am a 17-year-old female student currently residing in Scotland. Having been in the country for one and a half years, I recently received an offer of admission to Strathclyde University for the LLB Law program. While I am thrilled about this opportunity, I find myself facing a financial hurdle as an international student.

As you may know, international student fees can be quite substantial, with my tuition fees amounting to £21,700. Despite applying for scholarships and awaiting responses, I am exploring alternative options to cover the costs.

During a conversation with a family member, they mentioned the possibility of obtaining a private student loan to finance my education. While intrigued by this suggestion, I am unsure of where to begin or which institutions offer such loans for international students in the UK.

Therefore, I am reaching out in the hopes of gaining insights or recommendations regarding private student loan options available to international students. If anyone has experience or knowledge in this area, I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance you can provide.Thank you in advance for your assistance and support.
