That's BS. Anyone can go to college in the US who can fill out loan/grant applications. I worked my way thru undergrad without even taking out any loans by working two jobs. For Optometry school I only had time for one job and so I had to take out loans. There are plenty available and cost is really no barrier. I afforded it while working at Seven Eleven and supporting a family.Asguard said:wouldnt you like to be treated by the smartest docs and not ones who were "the smartest out of the group who could aford uni"?
