<p>You say that poor kids cannot afford even low tuition rates. Well… the kids from middle to upper middle-class families cannot afford tuition in many fine schools. If it is Ok for those kids to either take out huge loans or forgo attending schools of their dreams, the same logic should apply to poor kids.</p>

<p>If you believe in helping poor there should be other ways then reaching into my pocket to do so.

I don’t get it either. Everyone (upon graduating college) has equal ability to pay back their loans, so why should “poor kids” get free money when middle- to upper-middle-class kids do not?</p>
