@9FQNVNJ7mos7MO
yes, university should explain the financial viability of degrees and all students need to go to financial literacy course before taking on debt
@9GWFLNS6mos6MO
No, the students should be held responsible for their own finances but also should have an optional class to help with financial responsibility
@9FPCWDB7mos7MO
No, college should be free and publicly funded.
@9LXBVLR7hrs7H
No, but federal student loans should be prorated to the median income of graduates for a given program
@9KWN8RF1mo1MO
We need to focus on decreasing cost of education. But if a person takes out a loan, they are responsible for it. We need to get back to personal responsibility in this country.
@9KVQPK42mos2MO
Student loans should not be used the way they are. They should not be held over people even if they go bankrupt. The student loan fiasco is poorly worked.
