It really is broken: students shouldn't be coming out of school with staggering amounts of debt. The problem is that 1) tuition is not at as sustainable level - there is undoubtedly a tuition bubble that can, and will pop (and I will not feel one bit sorry for the overpriced professors and administrators that lose their job because of this, or the contractors building new buildings that didn't need to be built). 2) The way student loans are structured makes it easy for schools to continue raising prices - it's very difficult to get out of a student loan, even if you declare bankruptcy, and if you did get out of it, the government would still pay it - ie, the real value of an education is being hidden by the fact that the money gets paid back no matter what the cost is.
