The article explains the regret students felt from their debt and what they would've done differently. Many students believed the college ranking system didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

“I think that high school graduates tend to overestimate how much college ‘rankings’ matter,” said Cook. “In the real world, most of the time, they don’t. That’s the trap I fell into.”

“Having a degree, in my opinion, doesn’t automatically give you a job,” said Diaz. “I think it’s about personality, dedication and how much you are willing to work.”

Many borrowers Mayotte hears from say their biggest gripe is growing interest.

“They say, ‘I feel like I should pay (my loans) back, but I don’t feel like I’m on a level playing field because of the interest,’” Mayotte says.

“I don’t think it’s a terrible idea, but I don’t think it’s a game changer,” Akers says, adding she thinks expanding existing Pell Grant programs could have a stronger effect on affordability.

College isn't able to lower prices because it would loss revenue resulting in a loss in quality. Colleges are able to charge so much because people still pay for it no matter the price.

“There’s certainly evidence that people don’t know how to measure the quality of a college education … They think that if it’s expensive it must be better. I don’t think colleges want to have high prices, but I do think they see strategic reasons why it may be in their interest to have high prices.”
