[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my opinion, the bigger question is how families will afford law, medical, or graduate school now?  It's a small group of families that save for post-grad education, and we're going from no limit for graduate plus loans to a $200,000 limit.  This is where we'll see the toughest decisions.

[b]I think that law school may look to go to an undergrad + masters like Europe.  Reserve the JD programs for career switchers or students that want to prestige up for a chance at big law. I could also see the JD going to two years.[/b]  Essentially aligning legal licensing to be more like accounting licensing with the JD acting as an MBA type grad program.  This lets the schools get money for undergrad, the $100k for a masters, and $200k for JDs.

For medical school, I could see more 2+4 programs or similar.  Basically undergrad is just to knock out pre-reqs then going straight to med school.  $200k for four years to go into a $60k residency program is just really tough to make sense with these loan caps.  Or start some kind of part-time program for the growing population of mid-levels.[/quote]

Ha - no way.  Law schools are massive money makers.  They cost nothing and there is no way they should be three years, but they are.  This isn’t going away. [/quote]
