Having seen some of the people at Pitt under these circumstances, I believe that student loans should really only be given out to people who are going into a field that has a direct impact on society and others (e.g. nursing, med school, engineering, physical sciences). There are far too many people in college who are getting degrees in "something they enjoy" and then can't get a job upon graduation. These are the people struggling to repay their debt and becoming a drain on the system.
