Survey: Many 2017 grads expect student loan forgiveness
By Brendan Pringle | June 4, 2017 | Comments
With the commencement season now in progress, many graduates are feeling as carefree and stress-free as ever, despite facing the crushing weight of student debt. This is probably because more than a quarter still think the government is going to make it magically go away.
According to the Student Loan Report’s Student Debt Survey, 27.5 percent of graduates believe the Department of Education will forgive all or part of their student loan balance. This is not surprising, granted that 56 percent of 18-24 year olds voted for Hillary Clinton in the general election, and Sanders won more votes during the primaries among those under 30 than Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump combined.
