The student loan situation is bubble-y, but one big difference is that the loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy. That makes the situation fundamentally different from most bubbles.

I'm not saying you're wrong per se, because I think the way student loans are heading is almost bound to be problematic, I just can't picture that bubble "bursting" like we usually think of it.

A couple outcomes I could think of would be a law making student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy again, a government bailout type program, or a law greatly reducing the availability of student loan debt. Any of those would have drastic consequences, but I'm still not sure it'd be right to call any of them a bursting bubble (except maybe the first).
