Student loan forgiveness vs UBI

To me UBI, especially if offered to social security recipients, seems like it has a higher chance to pass than loan forgiveness. As someone without student loan debt I really wish everyone would focus on UBI instead. My question for hard-core student loan forgiveness advocates is why not focus on a program that helps everyone? Would you accept UBI in lieu of student loan forgiveness? For context I do realize that inflation in higher education is truly obscene and was only possible because of student loans. In a perfect world I'd want SLF and UBI “The modern slave is not in chains. They're in debt.”
