[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is Hillsdale college?

Never heard of it.

Guess I need to Google.[/quote]

It’s Conservative college Mecca.. Doesn’t accept federal funds so they don’t have to comply with federal standards.

No kid graduates with debt. Evil, huh? 
Democrats love debilitating college debt.[/quote]

No federal debt. You can easily graduate with freedom loving private loans at higher interest rates with less borrower protections [/quote]

Please cite a source that Hillsdale alums are soaked with debt with shady lenders. You can't because you are spreading disinfo like a deranged partisan nut.[/quote]
omg. I can't tell if you are being deliberately obtuse or are really that lacking in reading comprehension. No one said Hillsdale alums are "soaked" with debt. Simply correcting the statement that "no kid graduate with debt." Because it is demonstrably false. [b]Hillsdale does not have a "no loan" financial aid policy. Students there can (and do) take out loans- approximately half do with an average of about $26k in loans.[/b] Those students cannot get the FEDERAL loans with the best interest rates and protections due to Hillsdale's decision not to accept any federal or state funding. They have to get private loans. Do you understand now? [/quote]

Where did you pull this disinfo from?[/quote]

DP.  And God Lord. I’m beginning to see how Trump got elected.  The rubes really will believe anything.   I don’t know the source PP used. Hillsdale reported to USNWR that for the Class of 2020, they met 60% of demonstrated need, not full need.  38% of grads had loans, with the average loan being over $33,000.

An article in the Hillsdale student paper put the average loan amount at about $26k— but that was in 2017.  I didn’t see a percent of students in the article.

Hillsdale students take out loans. And they do so on much less favorable terms than colleges that use federal loans. Not because they use shady lenders, but because they are loans from a for profit institutions. The federal government doesn’t need to make a profit on student loans, and uses taxpayer money to subsidize low income students and give Pell grants. For profit lenders have to, you know, maximize profit.  The is Common Sense Capitalism 101.

I know you feel like an idiot after the nasty snip about Dems loving student loan debt. But your facts were wrong.  Move on and the next time you decide to make sweeping statements like every single student is debt free despite the high cost of college, spend three minutes on Google and verify. In fact, get on Google now and type in “Hillsdale College student loan debt”.  You might learn something. [/quote]

Not only is their % of BA students with debt very low (38% vs 63% nationally), median debt of $33K is low for a private BA. Median debt for all BAs is nearly $32K in 2022. And with Hillsdale's robust fundraising, I would bet both that % and median debt sum decline, while they both grow at all public universities. You have an axe to grind and there's no there there. Liberty, yes, it's a scam school. Hillsdale is an excellent college.[/quote]
