This is something I'm often curious about, and it's not really something people talk about openly. Obviously only respond if you feel comfortable sharing!
If you knew when you were choosing your college what you know now regarding costs and the ability to pay off loans & deal with interest, would you have chosen the college or university you chose? If you went to grad school, would you have chosen a different program that was more financially doable (or would you have gone at all)? And if you did feel you took those things into enough consideration, is there anything else you wish you had done differently? Is there anything you're particularly glad you did regarding the costs of higher education?
Please try to keep any responses away from political platforms. This isn't to discuss potential changes to higher education. It's more a what I thought it'd be vs. how it is, or even a "wow, you don't really realize when you're a teenager the weight of the decision you're making when you decide where you want to go to school" kinda thing.
