Go, Sam Houston!

There is an article on Huffington Post about student debt, in which they list 13 schools that will not leave you in the financial dump.

The Project on Student Debt's recent report (PDF) on student debt and the class of 2009 examined which schools left their students owing the most money -- and which schools left students with their pockets a little fuller.

According to the report, members of the class of 2009 graduated school owing an average of $24,000 -- a six percent increase from the previous year.

If you're looking for a college that won't break the bank, gaze westward: most of the low-debt schools can be found in the on the left side of the Mississippi. Below, we outline the 13 institutions that had the lowest per-student debt averages last year.

I note that Sam Houston State University was on the list, with students leaving with an average debt of $6,196.

So congratulations to all you Dodd SHSU graduates out there!
