Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
After taking out such a huge student loan, can I really walk away from this, or do I have to see it through?
  • $70 k in debt? How is that possible?

    I don't understand how the letter writer could be $70,000 in debt already, unless her MBA program somehow made her pay all the tuition up front? It seems like she hasn't even finished one semester yet -- even at the priciest school in the priciest city, that should only be $30k/$35k in the hole.
