1. How much debt did you accumulate while in college (or are tracking to accumulate for you current students)?
I rang up about $25,000 by the time I was done. (graduated in 1998 ) I was lucky, I would work construction during the summer break, which meant I would only have to take loans for part of my year. My parents helped too.
2. What are your loan terms? How long and how much per month?
I honestly don't remember. I did have to take a hardship forbearance after graduation, I couldn't afford the payments and still pay my bills. I did finally pay the loans off, years later. It felt great when the last payment was made.
3. What was your major/area of study?
Economics
4. If you had a chance to do everything again (school, major, debt amount), would you? What would you have changed, if anything?
I would.. I enjoyed college. If anything, I would have probably studied something more interesting, like Geology.

I haven't got them yet, but if I go into law school I may end up acquiring some.

The reward is definitely not worth the payout. *NM*

I have two student loans, of which I have repaid not a penny.
