Freshmen At Corban University Take Out an Average of $9,504 in Loans in Their First Year

At Corban University, 78.0% of incoming students take out a loan to help defray freshman year costs, averaging $9,504 a piece. This amount includes both private and federally-funded student loans.

The average federal loan is $5,732, which is 104.2% of the first-year borrowing cap of $5,500* for the typical first-year dependent student.

The Average Loan Amount for All Undergrads at Corban University is $6,689 Per Year.

66.0% of all undergraduate students (including freshmen) at Corban University utilize federal student loans to help pay for their college education, averaging $6,689 per year. This amount is 16.7% higher than the $5,732 amount borrowed by freshmen. The fact that returning students borrow more than freshmen could indicate that the school front-loads financial aid packages, offering more aid to new students while expecting returning students to take on larger loans to continue their education.

Borrowing the average amount will result in loans of $13,378 after two years and $26,756 after four.

These numbers are based on borrowing the same amount each year and do not include any loans where the parent is the borrower, even though Parent PLUS loans are frequently included in financial aid packages.

Were you surprised by how much you are projected to owe by the time you graduate? Remember this is an average: some students will borrow more than this.

Loan default rates can indicate how well Corban University is helping students afford to attend college without undue reliance on loans, particularly unsubsidized loans. It can also indicate future earnings and career potential. Pay close attention to this statistic. You don't want to take out loans you can't pay back.

The chart below compares this college to the average 3-year default rate calculated across all of the 4-year schools we have data for.

What does the default rate mean?

A student is considered to be in default on a student loan if they have not made a payment in more than 270 days. The official student loan default rate for a school is calculated by measuring how many students are in default three years after graduation. Note that the default rate only takes into account federal loans, not private.

When compared to the average three-year default rate of 6.9%, the default rate at Corban University is excellent. It is a good indication that the financial needs of a typical student are being met in such a way that reliance on loans, particularly unsubsidized student loans, is minimized.
