Attend a different university. You make it seem that this is a universal requirement at all universities. It is not.
+1 The plots don’t deserve a top notch education
At my state university, an in-state high academic achieving student with a 0 EFC on the FAFSA will like have at least a 10k gap between financial aid and cost of attendance. So that is 10k x 4+ fed sub and unsub loans x 4. This is the only public institution in the state offering certain majors, such as engineering. Some students make poor choices. I was one of them. My professors steered me away from a practical grad degree and toward a useless one. I was flattered and took their advice and hiring in my field of study also got worse while I was getting my degree. So there are people like me who made a bad choice,
but society would still probably be better off if I could save for retirement rather than paying a huge amount of interest on my debt. Then we have poor, smart kids who have to take on debt to get a basic education.
