Little did I know that it marked the final monthly payment of my college student loans. 13 years after graduating, I finally passed the grand threshold of adulthood and am now free of my college debt. I went to Norwich University, a small private military college nestled in the green mountains of Vermont. When I entered as a freshman in 1988, the tuition was a steep $18,000 a year. By the time I graduated in 1992 it had gone up to about $23,000. Of course I didn’t pay this entire amount. I had scholarships, federal and university grants and parent loans to supplement this. It was however, a hefty burden that has now passed.
