10 Schools With Most 2010 Graduate Debt: US News List

US News and World Report recently named the colleges where the students have the most 2010 graduate debt. Eastern Nazarene College in Massachusetts topped the list with Ohio Northern University coming in second.

The Report has more:

Among the 1,028 ranked institutions that submitted this data for 2010 graduates, an average of nearly 68 percent of students took out loans.

Graduates of private institutions like Princeton University and Alice Lloyd College leave schools with little to no debt thanks to campus jobs, scholarships, and grants. In contrast, 2010 graduates of Eastern Nazarene College who borrowed funds averaged more than $50,000 in loans, putting the college atop the list of 10 schools with the highest total indebtedness per student. Eastern Nazarene is one of three Massachusetts schools on the list.

I am continually shocked at the level of debt 20 something incur for a 4 year degree. Most of these institutions aren't even well known which can translate into NOT getting the job that will go to young person, same degree, from a known and respected University. I noticed at least 3 were, at least in title, tied to religion. So, I guess the "kris chens" running the school don't really own up to "it's better to give than to receive". So sad. Debt is bad. $60,000 at age 22 +- is awful and an albatros around their necks for decades. Damn...I guess I'm glad I'm old(ish).
I was able to graduate from UCLA with zero debt. Parents did not contribute. I worked 2-3 jobs and got some pell grants but tuition was so much cheaper! A different era. I think I would NOT want to be young today; we've left them a pretty messed up situation. For that, I am so sorry.

Bad schools = tons of debt, who would have thought.

True Quis (at least these little know private schools). And it is worse for those for-profit, on-line psuedo universities.

In final note: skip private college.

Skip the *small* private college. Notice that MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc. aren't on the list. If you can manage to get accepted, most of the big name schools have generous financial assistance.

In a final note, with logical capacity such as yours, skipping college altogether would be a good idea.
