College Debt.....high or low?

Question

Is a 40K student debt considered to be a lot these days?

I went to a private college where i aquired two BA degrees.

Just curious as to weather or not my debt seems to be high or low when compared to the average college students debt after a four year college.

Thanks a bunch.

Answer 1

Yes that is too high.  The average is 19 to 20K.

Answer 2

It's kinda high; the average debt is only $21K, but it's possible to have one as high as $160K or even higher!
