Student loan debt can't be discharged by bankruptcy. Lending in this situation is decently low risk. You're basically rent seeking with humans instead of land. Once you've got one, you can siphon off their excess productivity for decades. You'll get your money back in the long run.

Yes it can, though it is more difficult to do so than it is for other unsecured debt.
