Default Re: Wiser Use of Money: Pay Off Student Loans / Invest

I know that investing in this case often turns out to be the right choice in practice. But I don't understand why this is the case. If there is an investment vehicle that pays better than lending to students at 6.8% (minus some amount for guys that never pay back), why doesn't the bank put its money there instead?
