$0. Including my wife. She is mostly on scholarships though. I had a scholarship my freshman year. Other than that I've just been working my way through school. I don't mind taking 5 years to finish school instead of 4 to not only have no debt, but to be quite padded on the positive as well.

This. 6k per 4 month term is insane though

I wish mine was that low 13k + 15k(flight costs)+3k room and board / semester, hoping I can marry into money while I am down here 😀.

I had about 16K but work payed most of that off and paid for MS too.

Man, what work pays off your student loan debt? My (prospective) company just reimburses tuition for a masters program.

Mine was roughly $9k per term for housing + tuition + fees.


$14k per term. Is my penis biggest?

Anyway, I came out with about $8k in debt thanks to an incredibly generous family and working my ass off during school.

I'm in school right now (undergrad), and I have loans. School costs alone ~ $3000 a quarter. Since there are 3 quarters in a year, and hopefully, I will only be in school (ungrad at least) for only 4 years, so....3000x3x4 = ~$36000 in loans. 🙁 I'm glad they are federal loans at least (right?).

HAHAHAHA.

Uhmmm. $14k per quarter or semester?

I've had to pay $10k per quarter for FA/WI/SP and Summer is much cheaper ($4k) but I lived off-campus and had to pay books, rent, utilities, and food separately. Lets say debt is my best friend.
 
$0. I worked during the school year, and worked two jobs during the summer, and my parents helped out. It was a long hard road, but I still had fun and it was great to graduate with no debt.
 
Zero... as long as we got B's or better ride was free from Mom and Dad but I was easy on them went to a cheap cal state school $500 a quarter for CalPolySLO (more to drink and pizza that way, used to buy Jack Daniels by the six pack)
 
$187,804.11, unsubsidized loans are costing me 25 bucks a day in interest as I type this.

I'll be lucky to pay it off in 10 years, and that is only if I don't buy a new car or live in a house worth over 140 grand. 55 grand is nothing my fortunate friend😉
 
5 years at penn state - came away with 22K in loans.
of course, i had lots of scholarships and grants.
