I have a personal interest in this item. The increasing reliance on student loans to fund college and university classes is leaving students with ever large financial burdens when they graduate. "For the poorest one-fifth of students, not counting loans or grants, tuition would gobble 12 percent of family income for community college, 25 percent at a four-year public school and more than 110 percent for a four-year private school. That's double the family burden in 1980."
