Congress recently introduced legislation that would make it harder for credit card companies to market to college students, and harder for the students to qualify for the cards.
Some local universities are also taking steps to reduce the level of debt among students.
Did you get into credit card debt as a student? Would a session at orientation or a required freshman course have made a difference in your financial behavior?
Are universities offering these courses headed in the right direction, or might there be a better solution to the student debt problem?
