There were kids in my college who took out student loans, yet they went to Cancun for spring break, Stowe for winter break, etc. I skipped all that because I didn’t have the money.What ever happened to personal responsibility? Tell you what, I paid all my college tuition including loans, and both my son's tuition, room, and board. You do the same. The government is not responsible for your student loan. The lesson you are learning now about paying loans off is probably the most effective lesson you learned in your years of college and grad school. Don't miss out on this lesson.
So in effect, their student loans paid for their vacations, while I stayed behind and worked full-time during breaks. And NOW, those loans should just be forgiven?
