Just like most "well meaning" government programs. They do far more harm than good.
Get rid of the gov't student loans...and college tuition prices would plummet.
Called the Free Market...and the Government loans have completely screwed up the free market...driving tuition prices through the roof.

" it costs roughly $8,000 a year to educate an undergraduate at an average residential college. Yet the average college bill—including room and board—charged at a private four-year university is $37,000, and $16,000 at a public one. For a long time, college tuition has been rising faster than the inflation rate, which certainly has hurt middle-class families. Colleges can raise tuition with impunity because colleges know they'll get paid no matter what."
