You know there are scholarships for people that are as gifted as the student you are describing. Also if they are so brilliant and can ace community college they can get scholarships at a state university.

There is absolutely no reason that anyone should take out 200k in student loans ESPECIALLY if they cannot afford to take out 200k in student loans.

It is the quantity of loans I am debating here. Paying off $20,000 in loans is much different than paying off $200,000 in loans once you get a "real job"
