These are not unique to these schools.

Master's in social work pouring in $$?
These people made poor choices.
You can only blame yourself.

They shouldn’t have been allowed to take out loans for that much. You do know that the those govt loans will never be paid back in full?

Or as a society, or at least Columbia for one, can decide we need social workers. And they can decide that a degree in social work should cost less. So how about the school reduce tuition?

A masters in social work at Columbia or NYU is for a trust fund kid who wants to work a little. It is not for someone who actually needs a career to pay the bills (including student loans). A generation or two ago, that was clear to everyone but a bye product of these schools pushing for diversity and first gen college access is the marketing influencing people who would have known better years ago.

Cute how you equate a cup of coffee to a kitchen renovation. No one is saving multiples of their annual income (at 200k, even if you mean 2 by multiple, that's over three years of income) for college without ignoring retirement

I totally agree.
The loan amount should match the value of the degree.

When you take out a loan, they check your credit, your income, etc.

They just blindly approve school loans that have very low value, and cry about loan cancellation with my tax money.

These schools prey on working class families who’ve had no previous exposure to college. The whole “big city college” thing.

Also, don't major in useless stuff, but people are saying college is not to get a job blah blah blah
You can only blame yourself.

These are Master's degree, so they must have college education, and they made those decisions.

40% is full pay at most elite privates.

Coincidentally about 40%are ALDC at Harvard

Slight correction -- I believe I read that it's 40 percent of white students at Harvard are ALDC (athletes, legacies, or donor/dean choice etc).
