FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE IS EXPENSIVE!
For most NCCC graduates, attending a four-year college will be the first time that they will need to borrow money to pay for school.
Student loans are generally a large part of financial aid awards, and need to be repaid, eventually, with interest.
In 2014, the average UCONN graduate, for example, accumulated almost $25,000 in loans over four years.
