<p>I agree with Russ456. Its great they are eliminating loans and replacing it with funding for the low income students. But this completely ignores the middle class students, who are hardly rich, who are trying to pay off university tuition and living expenses that are going up at 3 or 4 times the rate of inflation. Private school tuition, approaching nearly 40k in many top colleges and univerities, not to mention room and board and living expenses, is in my mind ridiculous, especially considering the prices 10 or 15 years ago. More universities should also look to help these individuals, many of whom come from middle class families, and will encounter similar debt to those from low income families graduating from the same universities. yet under the new funding for low income students, the middle class students will be strapt with far more debt than the low income students, even when most of the middle class students are recieving little or no help from their parents. 50k or 60k a year is simply too much for most middle class families to significantly help with. yet these kids will graduate with all that debt, while kids from low income families, while going to the same university, will graduate with little or no debt. Both the middle and low income students will experience similar job opportunities after graduation since they are attending the same colleges, yet one graduates with no debt, and the other recieving as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars. And this is not even including graduate school, which many students at high end colleges will likely attend.</p>
