Most students go into debt to attend college. I fell into a bracket where I didn’t get any financial assistance but my parents didn’t want to/couldn’t pay for tuition. I got personal loans for everything. I think this is a common scenario.

In many developed countries higher education costs the same as high school.

The large majority of MIT undergraduates graduate debt free.
