If the colleges had to take a stake in the debt repayment, or lack thereof, they probably would do a better job ensuring their graduates don’t take out impossible loans. Adults can make bad decisions, but many that are getting trapped in student loan debt are making the decisions while still technically underage.

I really like this idea, only edge case I wonder about is if such a policy would incentivize colleges to avoid letting in students from low income backgrounds.

It’s possible. A lot of top universities already do need-blind admissions, so I don’t think it’s an unsolvable hurdle.
