I had 72k in debt coming out of school, and paid it off in about 11 years. Such a relief sending that last check...

I will have $40K from undergrad and, depending on the type of grad program I pursue, there may be $100K more! Poor decision making(read: parent pleasing)on my part. Had I pursued my current major two years earlier, I'd be in a better financial state.

Nope. I went to jc for two years and lived at home and then transferred to a state university. My parents paid cash for my tuition and living expenses.

Thanks to my hard working parents I pay straight out of the pocket, therefore I'm debt free!

Nope, I paid mine off years ago.

I sympathize with those of you who have them now. The loans are much, much larger amounts and the interest is too high.

Just about anyone can get loans. I don't qualify for any grants because my parents make a lot, but they don't factor in debt.

I envy the majority. $24k for bachelors, $25k for masters = $49k in debt to start out. Have it paid down to $38k now. Still working on it.

No,and I hope I don't acquire any when I go to college.I don't like being in debt, especially to the government.Besides, I'll be poor anyway,I don't need debt too.I'm not letting my parents pay,so if I don't get a scholarship,don't know what I'll do.

Never had debt. I worked more than 40+ hours a week at multiple jobs while going to college so I could fully support myself.

Not a realistic option for most of us that need at least a 3.5 to apply for internships. Especially for those that are trying to get into medical school. :/

$20k left. I don't mind it either. It helped my credit score big time!

Yep. Wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so much interest tacked on.

My wife just graduated. I'm estimating her payments around $750. It's like a second mortgage note.

I have enough student loan debt that I could have just bought a house instead of going to college. I'm not using my degree anyway
