Thread Name: BS: Another Power Grab: Student Loans
Subject: RE: BS: Another Power Grab: Student Loans
My son has tried for several years to finish a degree at Towson U. in Maryland....he has 5 courses to go, and they say his eligibility for loans has ended. ONE of his textbooks has cost as much as my entire 1st semester in college did in 1957. Student housing is ghastly expensive, and tuition is worse. If we hadn't had much help from loans and some generous friends, he'd never have gotten this far.....right now we have no idea how & when he might be able to finish....he is working part time.
