I graduated with close to the average amount of debt, around $22,000. But $22,000 was NOT the whole amount I paid, just the amount leftover after my parents and I paid as much as we could up front. The total cost was closer to $60,000. Still, I graduated with a degree that will help me pay my debt off in a reasonable amount of time.
