We asked readers on Twitter what they thought could help students with the cost of education. Comments edited for clarity, grammar and style.

Lower interest rates and fees on government loan programs. There should also be tightened loan eligibility with monitoring of degree progress.

How about a new GI-Bill for our best students, freeing up 2% of the military budget? Make it free!

Go to community college for your general education credits, then transfer to a university. A serious money lifesaver.

Stick with technical bachelor of science degrees instead of liberal arts and finish in half the time.

Interest rates should be reduced and sale of loans to other creditors who jack rates up should be prohibited.
