Students More Worried Than Ever about Student Loan Debt

September 29, 2012 By mara

A study by Cappex.com has found that students are more worried than ever about not only how they will pay for college – but whether they will be able to afford to pay off their student loans when they graduate.

Two out of three high school seniors say they are “experiencing anxiety” about having to take out loans. Their anxiety is stemming directly from the continuing economic crisis.

To help manage their anxiety – and avoid costly loans – 3 out of five high school seniors have decided to attend less prestigious and less expensive colleges.

Are you a high school student stressing about how to pay for college – and whether student loans are the right choice for you? You can get more information on the pluses and perils of student loans right here on the Financial Aid Finder. Check out these articles to get you started:
