This was definitely frustrating to read. I graduated from college in 2008, and myself and most of my friends went to state schools with relatively low tuitions. We got some academic scholarships to cover parts of the tuition, and even then we had to work part-time and (some of us) had to take out some small loans. Reading about people who made such poor decisions is tough. The hardest to read (for me) were the sections about the person who had a full ride scholarship but got a D freshman year and lost half of it, and the person who went to a 54k/yr private college with no plan to pay back the loans. My opinion is that the the US should prioritize making education more affordable, but these loan-dodging students made conscious decisions that they are not taking responsibility for.
