do that every semester when they return to the financial aid trough, include the estimated amount they'll need to borrow after this, do all the interest calculations, show them how much they'll have left to spend after their loan payments, and include a map of the parts of the country where monthly rent is <1/2 of that amount, and make the students sign that they read it.
anyone with unlimited funds who cares about nothing but learning will gleefully take their piece of paper and sign that they got it.
everyone else can have a little momento mori moment as regards their future financial situation.
tricking those without the funds (present or future) into thinking they should ignore these issues because "omg learning" is profoundly immoral.
