I suppose no Department of Education means there is no educational institution therefore no debt could exist within an institution that doesn’t exist.
I have ParentPlus loans through a non-existent Dept.
Ipso facto no debt ever existed.
Contract was on my desk.

This is as good an example of our new reality as you can find. We now live in a "heads we win and tails you lose political reality. Also white is now black, left is right and down is up.
Thank you Fox News, Newt and Mitch McConnell.

Now who can tell me about ParentPlus loans or what you did when you only qualified for a small amount of student loans?

My son got a full ride to a college in Boston but I was expected to cover room and board which in Boston is a LOT. ParentPlus loan only covers on campus housing which he didn’t win the campus lottery for. Luckily my inability to pay for this led to him moving with us to Canada. Messed up system.

Nothing here about the massive impacts to student loans…unrealistic borrowing caps…sweeping changes to repayment plans…etc…effectively creating a system of affordability access to med/dental school for the wealthy…forcing others into predatory private lending sector, ParentPLUS screwed too.

My 120k for the kids (ParentPlus loans) was forgiven via public service loan forgiveness like a week before he tried to shut down the Dept. of Education. Like when Lando on the Millennium Falcon escapes the 2nd Death Star. Yeee--HAAAAA!

I took out 2 parentplus loans to cover Joi's first 2 yrs. I now have twice the amount in parentplus loans for 2 years than I did for 5 years total at ub. They are u subsidized so the interest is already accumulating. But in the end, I know it will be worthwhile ☺️🤞

2/ The GradPLUS elimination and ParentPLUS caps aren't likely to impact cash-cow Masters degree enrollments this Fall (existing borrowers are grandfathered in) but going forward it's looking very ugly.
Institutions should be planning *now* for program sustainability & lower pricing.

I have at least 5 more years to qualify a ParentPlus loan for PSLF. Already qualified on my grad school loans. If the current administration succeeds in demolishing the DoE, not sure what that does to PSLF. Keeping an eye on it; if they dismantle the program, I will likely default, as will others.

I have three daughters. Two graduated from public university with zero debt. My third will be in debt when she graduates from a private school. She wanted to attend a public school but they wanted me to take out a 32K "ParentPlus" loan. I'm too old to do that so she ended up at the private school.
