Many means many things. It could be a few hundred annually and someone might still call that "many." I'm dubious that many art majors wind up $300k in debt.

I'm dubious that many art majors wind up $300k in debt. Undergrad doesn't cost that much.
- Spooky23 5y agoIf your parents are wealthy enough to not qualify for need based aid, but not enough to be rich, your $50k tuition + $30k NYC living situation adds up quick.
- xapata 5y agoOk, so we've got $320k debt for NYU grads. They're at around 6.5k students graduating each year. I don't know what portion have "useless" majors paid entirely by debt. Let's say half. That's probably one of the worst offenders, but let's imagine there are around 10 more schools in a similar situation. Ok, 30k students out of around 4 million students graduating college each year in the US ... that's a tad less than 1%. More than I thought, and enough to call "many", but perhaps still an acceptable level.
