I graduated from Art Institute of Colorado in March 2008. At the time, I believe I had $113,000 in loans. However now, it is $144,000. 100% of my “education” was through loans - all through Sallie Mae.

I made my way into Cornell and graduated at the top of my class. My reward was my acceptance to...
