To clarify a bit... 42% of students graduate (undergraduate studies) without any debt. And 78% of graduates have less than $30k in debt. The numbers aren't great, but the majority of students finish with either zero debt or a very manageable amount of debt. There is a small fraction of students taking massive loans that skew the overall picture. And bachelor degree holders continue to earn, on average, $1 million more than high school graduates over their career. All that said, I agree college should be affordable without loans.
