students loans are completely evil
taking away educational opportunities from most people, and saddling others with a life long debt
an inherently biased and unfair system that affords privilege to those who already are privileged
it makes me so simultaneously outraged and deeply sad
how many people out there have such bright minds, or have passion and dedication, or who simply just want to learn, but can’t because of money? or who never even consider higher education because they feel they aren’t qualified or somehow aren’t fit for it, again, because of money?
