I am not in repayment yet since I’m working on my dissertation but I’m currently waiting to see if my uni dissolves all social science departments.

They removed the portal to recertify income based repayment plans so people won’t be able to keep low payments. The GOP is helping the working class organize the class war far better than we could have expected.
