This was in The Atlantic today about college students and the abounding debt they are taking on. I just found it to be a very surprising quote.
One reason why more students are borrowing is that few parents pay all or even most of college costs, a trend underway well before the recession. Last year, a typical family with college-age children spent $3,102 on dining out, but only $2,055 on education.
The things that go on in this country are scary.
