There are many stigmas around student loan debt. Episode 2 of this 6 part series will explore them and, hopefully, dispel some of them. We’ve heard them before. “Students knew what they were doing when they took loans,” or “I was responsible, I paid my bills,” or even “Well then, they shouldn’t have gone to college.” This episode examines some of the economic and cultural factors that catalyzed the student loan crisis,. and demonstrates how many borrowers are in dire situations through no fault of their own.
