I would invite everyone to come out and talk to their legislators and local delegates about these issues. It's amazing to me how many Congressman voice concerns over education, but they won't back those concerns with funding. It's easy to pay lip service, but they won't back it with legislation.

For the average student to incur that kind of debt, with interest, boggles my mind. I don't know how a student, being on their own, could afford to go to college.

But it appears if the federal government had their way, they would not educate the masses, only those who can afford an education.

Students should apply now to lock in on lower interest rates. I believe they have from right now until the end of this academic year.
