A few of the biggest college myths are that most students graduate in four years and that student loans will only follow you a short while after college. In reality, approximately 58% of students graduate in six years, which can tag an extra 50% of your total college budget onto your expenses. Additionally, student loans can follow you through much of your adult life -most students don’t finish paying off their loans until they’ve been out of school for 15 years. While many people still find their college degree to be a worthwhile investment, these are still important considerations to make before you enroll.
