<p>I’d only go 50k MAX in debt at Berkeley if I was an EECS or another engineering major.</p>
<p>People don’t know how serious college debt is until they graduate and the interest starts piling up. My classmate was telling me about her cousin who graduated with a psychology degree from University of Chicago and she has 80k in loans she can’t pay off because she can’t find a job. Student loans CANNOT be discharged in bankruptcy unless you are deemed permanently physically disabled. </p>
<p>The “experience” is not worth the debt. Go to Uni of Washington, it’s still a top school and their campus is beautiful.</p>
