For the most part you want these students getting qualified so you don't have to import furriner ratbags, so why not offer a bond or a release schedule for good service done at home rather than pursuing $ or lifestyle abroad? They're still worse off than we ever were with "everybody" now opposed to inflation that would erode their debt at the same rate it did ours.
I'd much rather fund education up front than long-term welfare and crime down the road....
