student debt
College financial obligation
Student debt is money borrowed to pay for education, typically college or graduate school.
In the United States, where tuition costs have risen sharply, student debt has become a major financial burden for millions: I'll be paying off my student debt for decades.
The term appears frequently in political debates about loan forgiveness and higher education reform.
