Student loan debt is now the largest consumer debt in the US-- $1.7 Trillion, with the average student debt load of around $40,000 for students
who have already completed their education.
A student who starts out at a public Texas university with room & board for four years, will pay approximately $120,000 for a bachelor's degree.
A private school like TCU/SMU will cost in the neighborhood of $320,000 for that four-year degree.
I have personally counseled several students with well over $100K of student debt, and at least two who had over $200K of student loans, ( this
amount will be almost impossible to ever pay off, as it will double every 8-10 years).
How do you feel about student loans?
Do colleges and universities bear any ethical responsibilities in this student loan catastrophe?
List the strategies that a student can use to keep their total student debt under $30,000 for a bachelor's degree.
