'Investing' student overdraft ... a good idea?
(Please excuse my ignorance!) I've heard some talk of people investing some or all of their student overdraft into a separate savings account, presumably in order to generate some interest to help pay off the debt.

It's likely to be around £100, so budget accordingly or be prepared to wait until your loan comes through.…
