Title: EDUCATION LOAN: BENEFITS AND PROBLESMS FACED BY THE CUSTOMERS

INTRODUCTION: EDUCATION LOAN A loan offered to a student which is used to pay off education-related expenses, such as college tuition, room and board at the university, or textbook.

We find that the credit constraint is substantial, as it reduces the enrollment rate into higher education by more than 20 percentage points in a population of student loan
