Welcome to yet another information filled episode of Loanflix. This is perhaps the most awaited episode of Loanflix, amongst many others. This 17th episode is solely dedicated to explaining the details of the USA education loan process.
Many students travel to the USA every year to pursue their higher education dreams. Most students borrow education loans in order to fund their abroad education. An education loan for the USA ideally should not be a difficult process.
