Tuition and books weren’t too expensive until the Federal gov’t got so involved in paying for it. Cars, clothes, vacations, and partying wasn’t meant to be included into student loans, and weren’t, as long as parents were securing these loans. Banks didn’t make loans to students when their families could afford to pay for part of the costs and the student could work and pay the rest.
Enter Big Gov’t. What do you expect?
Meanwhile, I am a white, middle class, Judeo/Christian male, with who works full time and is going to college full time and need a school loan to bridge me until my company can give me tuition reimbursement to pay it back.
And I cannot get a loan.
