I don’t get how they get away with telling you that a student loan is part of a Financial Aid package. I want to know where my kids can get free money. That isn’t the same as a loan. You have to pay back a loan. I want Aid as in Scholarships and Grants. Maybe work study if it is in the department and will land on the kid’s resume. Don’t tell me that such and such a college meets all need when the kid has to pay it back later. That is not the school meeting need. That is the student borrowing against his future. I agree with fiddlefrog, I think, don’t let them use student loans as a marketing tool. Keep in mind they have something to sell and they will charge just as much as they can get away with. Just like the Buy in on TV people can hide the real cost in the shipping and handling fees. Colleges hide their cost in student loans. And this study doesn’t even deal with parent loans. Or parents dipping into their equity or retirements.
