What is Student Debt?

So what is student debt all about?

Student debt is caused by loans accumulated during college. Due in part to the rising cost of tuition, nearly two thirds of college seniors graduated with loan debt, averaging $26,600 (Project on Student Debt, 2011). During your education, practice responsible borrowing to minimize loan payments after graduation.
