This little tidbit is a bit dramatic.

If you're talking about the amount, I can see it being that high depending on the circumstances. We helped her with lodging by purchasing a 3/2 trailer and placing it in a nice park not far from the LSU campus because it was cheaper than having her in an apartment. Those were going for $900 a month for a one bedroom. She lived as cheap as possible so she was able to reject the last installment of her loan by the time she was graduating and she still was in the $140,000 range. And that is staying in state. If she had gone to Texas A&M, she said that the debt would have been a lot higher because of the out of state tuition cost that is factored in. She did defer it for 6 months after graduating and thank God she has a great job and doing well to make the payments.
