If student loans weren't available, colleges would have to be more affordable (college costs, like healthcare costs--thanks largely to insurance--have increased unreasonably more than other expenses). Put easy-to-get student loans into the equasion and it's great for the school and not so great for the student who graduates with practically the equivalent of a mortgage! Now, THERE'S a "helping hand" to a great start! Some of these intended (?) to be helpful schemes actually end up hurting people. (Like help the welfare mom have more kids. . .)

I think some people forget they are only a short term solution and unlucky students can take years paying them alone off due to the interest rates. Switching to a low interest loan shouldn't be overlooked to reduce the interest you eventually pay. You need to be very careful with credit card debt in particular.

Interest is a monster (unless you have it working for you) and must be controlled and eliminated asap.
