This was one of the biggest reasons I changed my major from medicine to IT: I saw this trainwreck coming.

> “Access to federal loans were a lifeline for me,” said Leigh Habegger, a student in Wake Forest University’s program to train physician assistants, another profession affected by the new rule.

Habegger had a decade-long career in public policy work before going back to school last year. She called her program “rigorous” and said she’s unable to work while studying, even though her program costs more than $50,000 a year.

“One of my fellow classmates in the class above me shared that from his class that just graduated last weekend, nearly 90 percent of students said that they would not have been able to attend PA school without federal loans."

“This rule stands to have a significant negative impact on the number of students who are able to attend PA school … in North Carolina precisely at a time when our state needs us the most.”
