  A college education is one of the few properties that can’t be repossessed in the event of bankruptcy.

    Neither can $15k in credit-card debt racked up eating at fancy restaurants, yet that is dischargeable in bankruptcy.

      Fair enough, but the value of a fancy meal is quickly lost. Comparatively, the value of a college education lasts forever.
