The WSJ article doesn't talk about differences in student-loan balances between men and women. It mentions one income source (egg harvesting) used by women students to reduce their amount of borrowing, but doesn't comment on other income sources, largely used by women, that have been discussed elsewhere (e.g., see the https://nyunews.com/2018/02/18/02-20-daddy-features/ https://nyunews.com/2018/02/18/02-20-daddy-features/ article). Data points such as "borrowed a median $74,000" might not be a good characterization of the experience of women at NYU. For the women borrowing much less than 74k, did their college career include traditional employment-based income sources that required skill sets learned at NYU, traditional employment-based income sources that didn't require anything learned at NYU, or other income sources that potentially have long-term effects on physical and mental health?
