<p>Well, there’s really no point in going to the best school you can go to if you come out with back-breaking debt. You’ll be in a worse position than you would have been had you never gone to college in the first place. My mom has really bad credit anyway, so she can’t even take out a loan. Before CC, I had never heard of PARENTS taking out loans for kids. I guess I had heard of Parent PLUS loans, but I have never heard of any of my friends’ PARENTS taking out loans. That seems really bizarre to me. But that was just my limited world view speaking.</p>
