What borrowing the net price would look like
Borrowing $9,921.00 a year for 2 years at 6.52%, the 2026-27 undergraduate rate, comes to $19,842.00 borrowed. By the time the first payment is due, six months after finishing, interest has taken it to $22,536.21. On a ten-year standard plan that is $256.12 a month.
This is a scenario, not a prediction
It assumes the whole net price is borrowed, that the cost does not rise, that the programme finishes on time, and that the loan is unsubsidized. Change any of those and the figure moves. The point of showing it is that the debt at graduation is larger than the sum of the borrowing, which is the part people plan against and usually miss.
