Any reason why? Why should education be this expensive to begin with? Why make students work 2 jobs while having college?

Here in Germany we have a student loan model, where as long as your making progress in Uni, you get around 1.3k a month, only have to pay back at most 10k with 0%. Oh and if you pay all at once you can get up to 50% cheaper.

So why should students be forced into 30k dept with crazy interest rates, just because they wanted to study something?

Genuinely curious
