Is an Undergrad Debt THAT Bad??

Personally, I don’t think 20K of debt is a “crippling” amount. $30 - 40K starts getting scary to me. It is a very personal choice, as Cpt says.

Notre Dame does offer an amazing college opportunity. If you’re coming from CA, however, you’d have to consider travel costs, winter wardrobe etc. What’s considered “cold” in San Diego would make kids at ND laugh. Do an honest, comprehensive breakdown and determine what your real debt would be. Financing 20K over a few years is doable. Many college grads go work for a few years rather than going directly into graduate school.

What you’re leaning towards majoring in is also a factor.
