For Feit and many other University students, debt has become a part of college life. The average University undergradu- ate who graduated in 2003 accu- mulated $11,582 in debt. The numbers for graduate students are nearly twice as high. Students accumulating stu- dent loans and credit card debt might not realize the potential problems of borrowing money, some financial experts say. " My advice to my students is to cut up their credit cards and can- cel their accounts," said Peter Rosko, a retired professor who taught finance courses in the University's Carlson School of Management.

Paez, a loan unit man- ager in the University's Office of Student Finance, said some stu- dents take out student loans to pay off credit card debt. "That is not what student loans are designed to do," she said. She said students with large loans might be forced to accept unwanted jobs just to pay back the debt.
