the Sam Jackson College Experience

CollegeScholarships.org kindly sent along this really nice graphic about students loans today and the way their costs accrue to students over time. It just scratches the surface of some of the issues about student loans, but it’s a valuable quick-look-tool. I wish it included information about financial aid, which I think is a very important counterpoint to consider when looking at student loan sizes and tuition prices, but still quite interesting all the same.

I haven’t written about loans or financial aid in some time… big, scary numbers like the ones in this graphic make me want to revisit the issue. Especially when I start thinking about grad school. (!)
