For a fuller picture of how the [net price illusion](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/) can affect planning, the gap between sticker and net price is worth understanding before drawing conclusions from the published cost of attendance alone.

Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $19,218, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $13,471; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the [Parent PLUS risk framework](/analysis/ou-what-happens-when-parents-borrow-too/) for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $64,179, median federal debt of $19,218 projects to a monthly payment of about $217 under standard ten-year repayment.
