the elephant in the room is that we should not provide loans for all educations. the other consideration is the when the government provides the loans it should restrict how much each course credit should cost, how many credits are needed for the degree and which classes those credits can comprise of. This would also put limits onto the cost of required course materials, namely text books and the like. many don't seem to take issue the government setting rates with hospitals and considering the costs involved it should do so with college level education. many colleges would trip over themselves to offer degree programs fitting within the limits provided. Yes there will be moans and groans, end of the world declarations, but the free ride on the backs of students who have the federal loan programs to fall back onto needs to stop.
