Yeah, I understand why they're doing it, and I think it's great since you can't really expect kids who grew up poor to have that kind of money at 17 or 18. If you're coming out of a sub-par school system and you spent your childhood constantly worried about money issues, you're doing well just to qualify for those kinds of schools.
I just wish there would have been SOME kind of retroactive forgiveness for those of us who were well below the family income threshold but were born just a couple years too soon. Don't get me wrong, I understood the implications of taking out huge loans and I'm doing pretty well now (finally making progress on the loans) - but it kills me to think I could have had the same education without the crushing debt.
