That's crazy.  What's your brother majoring in?

you're right....he did double major in bio and eco in undergrad and now he's going to residency in med school and ranked in top 15% of his class

subsidized loans FTW

i graduated (b.s.) with 13k in student loans. paid it off 9 months after graduation (i get 6 months grace period, so i really only had to pay interest for 3 months).

RIP to anyone with that type of debt

at the type of person who thinks 100k is debt that isn't managable... its not like cats is dropping 100k to be communications majors, im SURE most these cats with large student loans are going to med, law, grad school to get a job where 100k in debt wont be %!%. 

Like for real for real i live in florida and could graduate with 170 k in debt and buy a house in foreclosure thats like 4 bedrooms 2 bath for 80k and have a good education, good job and a nice home for 250k... thats STILL 100k less than some NTers have paid to live in a one bathroom house...

Luckily, all of my education so far has been paid for (Med school for free, FTW). But, I know tons of people w/ student loans, and as long as you pay them off gradually, it should be alright. Just don't let it sit there and accumulate interest. I read an article about some girl who kept putting off payments, and ended up having to pay twice as much. In the end, it'll all be worth it.

My school that I went to for Undergrad was 25K a year..but i hadda stay extra or else i would've been under 100..

NY/Education field doesn't have a great loan forgiveness program..so i'ma start paying once my grad work is done..

No but the chances of you making a lot of money right out of college is much more slim compared to other majors.

I never said it isnt managabel but COT %$+%#++ DAMN thats like a house. Thats OD as **%+. And even if they do become surgeons and lawyers. Itll still take them a handful of years to pay it off. Not for me.
