(TribLIve) Debt be not proud.
Poet John Donne didn’t say that, but he might have if he’d lived in modern day Pennsylvania where a recent survey of 2017 college graduates found they were carrying the highest average student debt load in the nation.
The annual survey , conducted by LendEDU, found that 67 percent of the state’s new college grads left school last year with an average debt load of $36,193. That’s about twice as much as the $18,425 new college grads in Utah — the state with the lowest student debt level — incurred.
To put it in perspective, the average Pennsylvania graduate’s debt load last year was about $10,000 more than the cost of a new 2018 Chevy Impala. Read the full story on TribLive.
