Fewer loan dependent candidates. Fewer people going OOS when there are schools for half the price in their home state. More people living at home and commuting to school.
I am not for forgiving loans. You took them out, you deal with that. But, I am baffled by the way lending standards are completely thrown out the window with student loans. I could never in a million years go into a bank and get a 40K unsecured loan…UNLESS I was getting a Parent plus loan. Then all of a sudden it’s just fine. The taxpayers will guarantee it I guess.
