by our College Data Analytics TeamHere you will find what students actually borrow to attend Pure Aesthetics— how much they borrow, how that debt is spread across the student body, and what it costs to pay back. These figures are reported by the Department of Education and IPEDS.
Among first-year students at Pure Aesthetics, 90% of incoming students take out a loan to help cover first-year costs, averaging $5,889 each — a figure that counts both private and federal student loans.
Federal loans alone average $5,889. That is at or past the $5,500 federal first-year limit for the typical dependent freshman. Remember the all-undergraduate figures below leave out private loans, so they will look lower than this private-plus-federal freshman amount.
Across the full undergraduate body at Pure Aesthetics (freshmen included), 42% finance part of their studies with federal loans, for a typical $5,735 each per year. This is 2.6% under the $5,889 typical freshmen borrow.
Borrowing at that rate every year works out to about $11,470 after two years and $22,940 across a four-year program. The estimate holds federal borrowing constant and does not count private or Parent PLUS loans.

The Difference Between Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans
Subsidized loans pause interest while you are in school; unsubsidized loans do not. That difference compounds over four years, so the type of loan you take matters as much as the amount.
Important to Remember
Unlike most other debt, federal student loans generally survive bankruptcy — and unpaid balances can lead to wage garnishment — so borrow only what you truly need.
