college loans and college applications

[lostkitty]

Anyone here have any predictions on whether this housing/finance crisis will affect college application & enrollment numbers in the near future?

Near me we have recently had two big banks say “no more” to college loans.

Students seem to be so flush with cash these days… maybe from mom & dad refinancing the old homestead?

Dont know if any of you saw that article in the paper about 61,000 applications for only 7,000 spots at SDSU…? That really surprised me since SDSU was the place ANYONE could get into not too long ago.

I am currently considering law school, so this is very salient for me right now. I wonder if the free flow of credit extended to higher education, and if the ability to repay is hindered, if the credit market will eventually shrink. I guess the silver lining would be that universities would be forced to reduce tuition to bring it in line with local incomes as well!

I think there are two issues you're talking about.

1. College loans availability. There are different kids of college loans, I think the ones you're speaking that is having issues are the ones that  aren't of the fed guarantee type.

2. Issue with CA state funding and cutback at state schools. This was to be expected if you look at the state's budget. I'd expect  less enrollment, increased tuitions and possibly reduction of non-essential  labor at the universities  in the future.

Flu-

I’m talking about HSBC and M & T banks both pulling out of the federal student loan program.

I am really interested in predictions from piggies about this nationally, not just pertaining to CA.

i brought the question up two times recently at dinner parties and everyone looked at me like I had two heads. It felt eerily familiar… like when I used to bring up the idea that housing would implode.

Piggies are the smartest group I know… Give your thoughts!
