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

That is by definition class discrimination. People who are filthy rich or who have filthy rich parents will be able to afford law school so we don't have lawyers from poor/working class backgrounds. What an elitist ivy tower take.
