New Hampshire comes in at No. 2 state for student-loan debt - WMUR

College graduates in New Hampshire have the second highest levels of debt in the country, just under Delaware. The average New Hampshire graduate owes nearly $33,000. Experts say one reason is many students are caught in the middle-class trap. Southern New Hampshire University graduate Rebecca Warren was celebrating after earning her second bachelor’s degree. She said she is well aware of the loan payments that lie ahead. “Given how much I have from my first program and this one, it is worrisome to some degree,” Warren said. Warren is banking on her job paying down the majority of her debt; however, not all graduates have that option. http://www.wmur.com/news/new-hampshire-comes-in-at-no-2-state-for-studentloan-debt/25918914
