My son had a roommate in college, took out loans and then blew it on stuff. My son joined the guard and in the middle of college deployed to Kuwait, Qatar, iraq and Afghanistan. I was a career military member and told my son here is a way to pay for college because I am not.

I imagine many of these whiners are similar to my sons roommate, not to mention how many spent 10s of thousands on ancient Egyptian lesbian art studies degrees, then complain they can’t find a job to pay back loans they freely took.

With that said the govt and schools(bastions of liberalism) are to blame for high tuition costs. Govt guarantees loans, colleges raise rates astronomically. Shocking liberals who complain about the evils of capitalism sure have no problem with profit

My first year at OSU in 1980 was 299 full time and I believe 15 or 16 credits and above cost no extra. Could afford that even on minimum wage, but joined the military anyways to pay for it, loved it so much I stayed for almost 40 years

Sure inflation but not to the extent that tuition has risen, and don’t get me started on online schools and their rates, what a scam
