Fern, I think people move too quickly to the 'student loan' option when thinking about how to pay for higher education. If a kid knows from the time they're 12 that they're going to have to save money and work through college and that you can't borrow money to get through, they'll likely save the money, choose a reasonably priced school, and/or both.

I just think people lose a bit of ingenuity, and creativity with all of the loans available out there. It's easier to borrow it than to pay it back.
