How exactly is it "so easy to get huge loans" for college? My kid needs that, but we see only $5500 available for the first year.

Did you instead mean loans that the parent takes on, perhaps as cosigner?

I'm seeing nothing beyond $5500 that can be obtained by a student.

I think if you're low income, you qualify for a lot more loans.
