They should be dischargeable, and no... you shouldn't be able to just discharge your student loans that easily. You should have to work through the lender and exhaust literally every forbearance/deferment option before being allowed to bankrupt them. You can postpone payments for years through forbearance.

But if someone takes such a drastic step to file bankruptcy, and the purpose of bankruptcy being to give someone a fresh start, then keeping someone on the hook for student loans goes against the spirit of giving someone a fresh start, doesn't it?
