Loans should also be dependent on major.
Useless degrees should be flatout denied loans entirely, IMO.

Who gets to litigate what is and is not useless?

Bring back $1800 full time semesters!

It's only going to get worse until people start voting with their wallet.

Do any other nearby states to Louisiana offer in state tuition to out of state students if you meet a certain academic standard? I don’t really want my kid going to LSU as they will have grown up in Baton Rouge their whole life.

The fact that we’re trying to address existing student loan debt and not the cause is arse backwards
The cause is greed, the same as the corporate greed all those liberal elitist professors and administrators running those institutions complain about.

Think it depends on their enrollment. Recently, Arkansas and Oklahoma State were offering in state but don’t know if they still are.

LSU was under $2000 a semester for me. (ETA: way less actually—I was looking at average in state for all major public universities—I recall it being like $1200 a semester)
Tulane law was under $20k a year.
That’s BEFORE scholarship money applied.
Yes I’m 50 and that was “long ago,” but way out of whack with inflation (haven’t done the math. Just dead reckoning).

All these school loans did was allow universities to increase the cost of tuition bc every kid could get the cash. Take away all those loan programs and they will be forced to bring tuition back down or die.

He wants the Auburn experience like I had
This is who pays for other kids to attend school. They select the school because of family or the experience. Select the school where you have the best chance of getting out in 4 years. And if you kid is a high performer, than they should get out in 3 using high school dual credit. Reduces costs by 25%.

I vote yes for increased fees for the new rec center that would go into effect after I graduated.
I think my junior year at Nicholls they had a vote for the student rec center that was built in the mid2000’s. Now it was not as elaborate as LSU, still it was an extra c note or two a semester. That was going to be implemented before construction even started. I think I voted no. And I think it still took 2 or 3 years before construction began.
The hitch for the fee when no center was built was that you could signup after you graduated and use the facility as a non student when it was finally built. I have never used it. I think one year I went to a Nicholls football signing day event there.
Now Thibodaux Regional has sports facility that blows Nicholls rec center out the water.

Texas A&M offers in state to my kids because my dad went there.
Im sure there are others.

25K per year
Tuition is only about half of that amount. The other half is housing and meal plan.
If you live in the BR area, you could avoid the housing and meal plan expense if Junior lives at home. If you live within 50 miles of campus, they'll waive the requirement for first year students to live on campus.
quote:That'll put you in the $4500-5500 range for tuition if your kid can live at home and save you from paying for housing.
TOPS should be another 7-8K
Posted on 4/11/25 at 9:24 am to Gdellinger
$12.5K for tuition and fees ain't terrible. There are plenty of private high schools in BR that is about that.
Now what they need is to cut out having these kids buy books. I was spending $100+ per book that I barely opened 20+yrs ago.
