Students are underwhelmed by the loan changes National would make, if re-elected.

But those living overseas would be charged an extra one percent in annual interest.
Victoria University Student Association president Aidan Donoghue told Ryan Bridge students have raised plenty of issues this year - that this policy doesn't touch on.
