Twitter Poll Results

Recently I put up a poll on twitter asking my friends, the majority of which are college students, to vote if they think they will have over or under $30,000 in student debt when they graduate college. Over a span of 24 hours I got 57 votes and the percentages came out to be 70% think that they will have over $30,000 in debt and 30% think that they will have less than $30,000. We used $30,000 as an average for the poll because that is the average debt of Lebanon Valley College students when they graduate. I think this says a lot about the state of college students around my age (19 years old) and what I and other students have to expect for when we graduate as well.

If you have any input or if you want to comment if you think you will have more or less than $30,000 in debt, comment below!

  1. I am absolutely positive that I will have more than $30,000 in debt when I am finished getting my Master's degree. I've been at West Chester University for 5 years now (4 undergrad + 1 grad) where the tuition is about $7,060 a year for undergrad and $10,772 for grad school not including on campus housing and other fees. I have been working to do as much as possible to lower the amount of debt that I will be in after I am completely finished with school by being a Resident Assistant for 3 years (allowed me to have free housing) and holding two Graduate Assistant positions currently (gives me free tuition). Despite all of these things, I am certain I will still have more than $30,000 in debt when all is said and done.
