Is it halal to take a student finance loan for education?

Muslim students tend to take a student finance loan in order to go through university without financial strain, but I've recently discovered there is interest involved. According to my friend, some Imams say it is okay for education's sake. I have just read this [fatwa on Islam21C](https://www.islam21c.com/islamic-law/on-sh-haithams-student-loans-fatwa/) , which seems sound. Is there anything wrong with the fatwa? Please respond to with your reservations.
