I was going to say the exact same thing as Laura. I'm currently attending a private, 4-year college and, despite making many sacrifices and cutting corners I will be about $36,000 in debt when I graduate. Most of my peers will have at lease twice that much. Once I graduate, I will face the obstacle of getting a low paying job with minimum benefits, probably move back in with my parents because I won't be able to afford my own place, and attempt to pay back my student loans. What will I do with my free time you ask? Anything that's free/costs very little money. And with gas prices nowadays, driving to a National Park to go camping is just not a feasible option for me.
