To me, a "loan" (student or otherwise) is borrowing something that is not yours that you have agreed to return at a specified time with recompense to the lender for depriving him/her of that something.
And you need to use the "R" word (responsibility) and (gasp!) common sense. If you take out a student loan with a major of Etruscan dance therapy, don't expect me to feel sorry for you if you can only get a job as a dog walker. YOU made that decision and YOU signed the agreements.
Similarly, the previous entries with the MBA graduates who have to put off buying a house or giving up their "dream car" I don't feel sorry either - don't spend more money than your expenses and if you have to put off a big-ticket item, so be it!
