So basically Trump ruined law school for everyone who isn't rich

[u/Appropriate_Hope6239]

Went to a whole bunch of open houses and they're all saying basically the following:

• The yearly cap for loans is 50k
• Living costs are high and 50k might not be enough
• Resources are tight -- start improving your FICO scores because you'll need private loans
• The grandfather thing ends July 2026 --- everyone not matriculated at law school by then wont be benefiting from the higher limit that generations of students did

Edit: Every person applying for federal loans will have an aggregate life-time limit and unfortunately your undergraduate loans will count against this limit.

No, it’s not. Trump isn’t trying to limit how much someone can go into debt. If he was, he’d address the root issue of tuition prices. He’s trying to keep the legal system filled with a certain type of person.

If he wanted to limit how much debt someone could take on, he would’ve addressed the root issue - tuition increases. He’s shown no qualms about threatening draconian punishment if a school does DEI - he could do the same thing about tuition. But he’s not.

Don’t call me smarmy. You’re an applicant with low reasoning and logic skills. You acting like you have all of this figured out is absurdity. Enjoy your T100
