Donald Trump has a surprisingly similar approach to student loans as Hillary Clinton. He doesn't think it's right for colleges to send students out into the world with thousands of dollars of debt to follow them wherever they go. I agree with that. When asked about his plan, he said,
“The saddest thing I see is these students are leveraged, [with] debt up to their necks,” he said. “They can’t breathe, they’re scared, they’re so scared — they have leveraged their entire life.”
As a college student paying tuition, I can relate to the feeling of not being able to breathe as I try to stay afloat with all of the constant financial demands of leaving home for the first time, paying bills, having a real job for the first time, all while trying to keep my priorities focused on school. It feels like drowning sometimes.
As far as we know, Donald Trump hasn't yet released a full plan for how he will help these students, but he has alluded to having colleges be more responsible for the loans given to their students.
