I could write the headline another way: Only Four Percent of Harvard Graduates Say Student Loans Impact Their Plans. That is a shocking contrast to what goes on in the rest of the real world!
Vague surveys are really the pits. How much do you want to bet that if a neutral observer looked at the 30% of students who said their family’s financial situation did not affect their plans at all, the neutral observer would conclude that family financial status was doubtless a major consideration?
