How much debt do college students have to graduate with? More financial Aid is needed for American College Students,

Created by C.P. on October 24, 2011

College students are trying to pursue a career by receiving their education. However, college tuition has become expensive over the years and students are graduating in debt. During the 2009-2010 academic year, in state students in Virginia have borrowed $657 million to go college. Working part-time and trying to find a job is one issue, and it is difficult trying to pay off loans and or pay for college with low paying jobs. Also, most companies do not want to hire college students. In 2005, only 37% of borrowers were able to start repaying their students loans on time. In our economy, people are facing unemployment which makes it even more difficult to pay off loans.

STOP THE STUDENT DEBT CRISIS.
