You know the criticisms against college rankings: They reduce the experience to one no., there's no real difference between close ranks, etc. So this year, Money magazine is doing ratings instead. A lil exclusive by me: chronicle.com/article/this-y…
For Money’s Best Colleges 2023, we're ditching the traditional ranking system. Introducing our new star ratings, recognizing the breadth of exceptional learning environments across the U.S.

As @mitra_mallika explains, borrowers would have needed to 1. know about loan rehabilitation 2. understand its benefits 3. understand the unique opportunity granted by the CARES Act payment suspension and then 4. fill out the paperwork
"This one-by-one approach of putting it all on borrowers who are in difficult financial circumstances to figure it out themselves has demonstrably not worked," says @NCLC4consumers attorney Abby Shafroth
PSA for parents: If you have PLUS loans or think you’ll borrow for future college bills, you should know about your options for debt forgiveness. @joannanesbit is here to help ⬇️
