This is another article beating the college debt drum, and unfortunately it also misses a few critical points: Students are attending expensive schools, with expensive private loans. Instead of going to a community or state school, paid for by the federal Stafford loan, they choose to take out loans from banks to go to private, or worse, for-profit schools, with zero certainty and little guidance. This is further compounded by the endless number of require classes students are forced to take, that have little to no impact on their major, career choice, or academic goals, and are further saddled with endless labs, and fees.
Large student debt is the fault of both the students, and the schools. Both need to take responsibility.
