can imagine that that would stimulate a huge influx of people who do that simply as an excuse to take a 4-year vacation (of sorts)* If you just subsidize school and not living expenses, then it removes the incentive to treat college as a free vacation. Since if you have no desire to learn, you're not going to waste time taking classes (even if free) and scraping by on a part time job when you could just work full time and have a lot more free time since you're not "wasting" time in school.
