They get you while you're young...

<p>I love this: The maximum subsidized amount per year is $3,500 for freshmen, $4,500 for sophomores, and $5,500 for juniors and seniors.</p>

<p>discussion: is it being nice to students who drop out? (which indicates other things)
or: is it about getting you to come to the school thinking they will give you 3500 loan per year... and then attacking you later on?</p>

<p>other ideas?</p>

<p>It is a Federal program and federal stipulations:</p>

Loan limits
The maximum amount you can borrow each year in Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans depends on your grade level and on whether you are a dependent student or an independent student. The following table shows the maximum amount of money you may borrow each academic year in Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans:</p>

<p>Dependent student
1st-year undergraduate $5,500 (maximum $3,500 subsidized)
2nd-year undergraduate $6,500 ((maximum $4,500 subsidized)
3rd- and 4th-year undergraduate $7,500 (maximum $5,500 subsidized)

<p>Yes, I admit, I initially thought it was just JH doing this, and found out that this is done everywhere… but still… seems kinda lame!</p>
