Nurses argued for degree level training, so why should they be subject to student loans in the same way as students in other subjects are? As Martin Lewis keeps trying to point out, most students pay little or nothing off their student loans. They are not loans in the general context.

Under the "supply and demand" principle, aren't those higher rents a result of having enough people that can pay them? If there weren't enough people who could afford it, the rents would have to drop.
