Not enough jobs to work part time while studying combined with reduced student assist.
Its crazy that students are only group of people in Finland who are supposed to cover basic living with loan.

No big surprise there, as the focus has consiously been shifted towards student loans.
The loan itself is not really a problem. The current problem is that employment after you finish your studies is very unsure. Having a student loan of 12 k€ is nothing if you can get a job afterwards.

The reality is even more drastic. The linked statistic shows the avarage student debt across all students, where first and second year students naturally pull the avarage down.
In my opinion a better indicator is the avarage dept students have upon gradution (from year 2022):
– Masters degree (University): 22 660€
– AMK: 17 800€
Most likely this has increased again since student benefits have been cut again and the amount of loan increased.
Pensioners and big money is the future, fuck the youth

Why are students taking loans when education is free?
