<p>I don't know if this has been posted before, but I just came across it -- a report of how people pay for college by Sallie Mae and Ipsos

<p>Interesting to what degree the burden of paying for college is increasingly falling on students’, rather than parents’, shoulders.</p>
<p>I wonder how this study counted private loans that are taken by the student but cosigned by the parent. Really, both are on the hook for those loans, though too many people think this is just a student thing.</p>
<p>So true, cpt, though students’ financial realities are still something to ponder for those writing on the ‘our entitled, coddled children’ thread ;)</p>
