Luckily I never had to face these predators. Living in a place where universities charge around $1000 per semester and having parents that didn't charge rent allowed me to get by with jobs on the side. One of our economy teachers explained: "As students you can get a loan from the state with no interest. You're stupid if you don't take it and keep it for some extra interest." I calculated the interest this would generate and decided that it was too much hassle for few extra bucks. And I didn't want the temptation either.
