Follow this link to hear what over 120 borrowers have told us about their lives, how student loans affected their finances, subjective well-being, and other aspects of their lives.

Borrowers' stories are being uploaded consistently, so check back for updates and more information.

*To be noted, we cleaned up the quotes and De-Identified information, then used a Natural Language Processing program to generate the audio, as we did not have explicit permission to use the original audio.
