minus-squareAddition1291@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoIt’s really only undergrad that’s usually uber expensive. My wife is getting her master’s for like $10k/year and her company is paying for half of it. Meanwhile our undergrad was like $40-50k/year with no help. Also this average is probably averaging current balances, not total disbursement.
