How about the adults in the room... i.e. the parents who should know better.
How do the parents do that? Voice their opinions and hope, or ask the government to step in?
I'm wondering if this is simply your take on the way things ought to be, or something more.

"Teenage Johnny, I know you really want to go to Spring Hill College. But... you are going to be saddled for years and years with debt... that debt is going to really challenge your ability to get started in life after graduation.
It's ultimately your choice... but we think you would be better off by attending Delgado for at least the first year. All first year students basically take the same classes anyways. We then think it would be in your financial best interest after a year or two to transfer to LSU, or Southeastern. But... even if you transfer to Spring Hill after a year or two... at least you are taking on that much less debt".

Pretty easily. Don’t apply for an parent loan to cover the difference between the loan given to students and the cost of attendance.
