Chalked up 50 grand Sports_Gambler Send a noteboard - 30/04/2012 08:13:20 AM


1. How much debt did you accumulate while in college (or are tracking to accumulate for you current students)?

About 50k

2. What are your loan terms? How long and how much per month?

In NZ, the amount you repay is based on your income and there's a repayment threshold.

3. What was your major/area of study?

Bachelor of Science (major physics), Bachelor of Computing and Information Systems, Business Computing

4. If you had a chance to do everything again (school, major, debt amount), would you? What would you have changed, if anything?

Sure would. No way would I chalk up that amount again.
