Higher Education Loads up Students With Debt

Higher Education Loads up Students With Debt
More back-to-school related coverage of rising (and by now unreasonable) tuitions. "The average undergraduate debt has increased 66 percent, from $11,400 in 1997 to $18,900 in 2002, the survey found. Students attending graduate school borrowed an extra $31,700, up 51 percent (figures in $US)."

Sidebars
I haven't had time to read the articles in detail, but via Slashdot today came this link to Sidebars, a wonderful publication out of BCIT.
