I'm not from the US, I think I've heard that banks are obligated to give those loans with some characteristics?

It's going to cost much less if getting a student loan becomes much harder, because universities still need people paying.

If anybody can get a loan, the cost becomes inflated.

Just a thought.

The costs HAVE become I flatbed, because everyone can get a loan for a degree, and schools keep raising tuition.

Well, then the solution is abolishing the law making these loans so easy. It will make things easier for students themselves (only after a transient process, though, which itself is going to be hard - but that can be softened by, say, abolishing it gradually, for different categories of students).
