There is no clear financial connection. The only way to make a strong financial connection is to imagine a default scenario; where thousands of students can't pay off their loans. There is little evidence for this as student loans tend to be cheaper then housing loans (It is impossible get 300K of student loans) and they tend to have nicer terms less ways to default. Perhaps whats happening is some kind of social slavery where it is harder to peruse ones dreams due to loans, but its not a financial bubble.

I'm 27. Suburban lifestyle. Went to college. I'm thinking of my 15 or so closest friends. None of them have ever bought a house or a new car. I'm drawing my own conclusion that the economy is going continue to be depressed for a long time.
