This episode of the Student Life Series is for anyone with student loan debt or thinking about loans (or credit lines) to finance your law school education.

We discuss the “snowball” and “avalanche” methods of paying down your debt, and Kendall shares tips on budgeting, creating an emergency fund, and avoiding paying extra interest on your loans.
