The Cost of Student Loans

(High-Priced Student Loans Spell Trouble) This article bring up how common and severe students loan problems are becoming. With the cost of college sky rocketing and the rate of savings for the nation shrinking it seems to be a place where people are coming up short in funds. The story brings up examples of what people's payments are for student loans. It is a lot harder to live when you are paying 15% of your take home pay to a student loan. The article goes on to discuss how if the economy were to go downward that it could be expected that student loan defaults are going to rise dramatically.

Hi everybody, Since the cost for studying in an american college or university is so high and getting a loan for that is so high too....many american students started to study, on the other side of the border, in Canada where the cost of studying is generally 10 000$ which is much less than the majority of the american colleges and universities. Lower you debt potentiel as much as possible. For example in Montreal, there is an american student community. Unbelievable...something that I couldn't have imagine a couple of years ago.Thanks
