It depends on what that 1/3 works out to and if it’s reasonable for a student to earn from work. I’m personally not a fan at all of saddling a student with debt so they have “skin in the game.” Requiring some contribution from part-time (10-15 hours) term time work and summers, that’s perfectly fine. But if the family is comfortably full pay, I don’t think they should require the student to have loans. I don’t see any value in that.
