Help for Middle Class - elite schools change financial aid formula

Not that it will ever happen, but I'd like to see USNWR list the average debt parents take on for their children to attend each school. Especially for the middle class, a college can choose to eliminate student debt (a nice thing) but it doesn't mean the parents aren't still taking on heavy loans as most find the EFC to be more than they can manage out of pocket.

Absolutely! There's no way we can afford our EFC without PLUS loans. We are taking on significant debt for college, and our son is using Stafford loans.</p>
