Some of us can't afford school without financial aid, like it or not. (I'm not a fan of debt, but I'm also taking care of children full-time, not working in a conventional job.) If I can take out a loan on a 3-credit course for $900+, or I can take out a loan on $100 for an equivalent SL course, I fail to see how the $100 loan is not an improvement over the $900+.
Everyone has to weigh their own pros/cons, obviously, but it's always struck me as kind of silly and definitely wasteful that if you want financial aid you HAD to go the slow, expensive route. There's little incentive, then, to be efficient with your time *and* (borrowed) money.
