According to the recent statistics, today there are 44 million people in the US owe nearly $1.5 trillion in student debt. The numerals become larger every day!

What Does It Mean?
These days, many students have the fear of never being able to pay off their student loans. For these simple reasons, October 2018, college students across US held a National Day of Action. They demand free public higher education as part of the #FreeCollege4All campaign.

She also added:
“Now I face mounting student debt, which I am forced to prioritize over my already difficult living expenses.”
