If it was a common practice for college graduates to declare bankruptcy in this manner then landlords would take that into consideration. But of course, if it were a common practice it would also promptly be banned and we would be back in the same place we are now.

It is banned already. It just has another name: fraud. Taking out a loan with the intent to not pay it is fraud.
