MAJORING IN DEBT
Average Debt Burden Of Recent College Graduates Is Over $23,000... Read Their Stories
Between visits with my older daughter, who is in the middle of her sophomore year in college, accompanying my younger daughter on her college tours (she's starting in the fall), and regularly speaking at colleges all across the country, I've spent a lot of time on campuses lately.
And it's reminded me of all the excitement, promise, passion, intellectual curiosity, and vitality of college life.
That's why I'm delighted that we have created HuffPost College, our latest section, which launches today.
HuffPost College features voices from colleges and universities all around the country and offers a real-time snapshot of what's going on in the lives of the nation's 19 million college students -- from coverage of the latest trends and sports happenings to more serious issues such as freedom of expression on campus and the rising cost of tuition.
Edited by Jose Antonio Vargas, our Tech and Innovations editor, with the help of Leah Finnegan, a recent graduate of the University of Texas and the former editor of the Daily Texan, HuffPost College is designed to be a virtual hub for college life, bringing you original and cross-posted material from a growing list of college newspapers.
So far, we've partnered with over 60 of them, including the Yale Daily News, The Harvard Crimson, The Stanford Daily, UC Berkeley's The Daily Californian, the Iowa State Daily, theDaily Nebraskan, UT-Austin's The Daily Texan, the University of Hawaii's Ka Leo, theColumbia Spectator, The Wesleyan Argus, NYU's Washington Square News, The Michigan Daily, Duke's The Chronicle, the University of Alaska's The Sun Star, and the University of Missouri's The Maneater -- all of which will be providing us with up-to-the-minute college news and opinion, including photos and videos.
