Thread 'professional school student loans and BBB'

Jul 2, 2025

Cap is being put on professional school student loans if the BBB passes and I am sure it will. Now how do you cover the gap between the cap and cost of tuition? Parents will be forced to sign up with 250K+ loans that will show up on their credit report. In a world of decreasing incomes in dentistry and now personal loans to cover the cost of tuition......what is everyone thinking or the is the predent doc not thinking about the future, just get me in!!!
