The reason why student debt is basically unheard of in Denmark since college is free (although to make that happen, the Danish government poses high taxation towards citizens like they do in order to maintain stable social security nets like subsidised healthcare and public housing, also why they have less homelessness).

Mainly Danish, Swiss and European citizens are eligible to study without stressing over student debt upon graduation. It stems from this: Danish government is more on for the people while American government is more on caring about themselves plus nepotism on the side (MORE & HIGHER TAXES TOO ON TOP OF THAT).

      That would be an example of one of those invented reasons I was mentioning, yeah.

        OK, go tell the ivy league universities to give up all their sports programs. see how that goes over.

        because the rest of the usa education system follows what they do.

            universities are run by people dude.

            monkey see, monkey do. everyone wants to follow bestest biggest monkey, and in the USA that’s Harvard.

            there are a handful of ‘alt’ schools that don’t do this, but most of them are shutting down because they have no money.
