by our College Data Analytics TeamHere you will find what students actually borrow to attend Learning Bridge Career Institute: median debt, the percentile spread, total borrowing including PLUS loans, and the cost to repay. All figures come from the U.S. Department of Education and IPEDS.
Among first-year students at Learning Bridge Career Institute, 100% of incoming undergraduates borrow in year one, at roughly $1,349 each, across private and federal loan sources.
The average federal loan is $1,349, which is 24.5% of the $5,500 cap on first-year federal borrowing for the typical dependent student. Note that average undergraduate loan amounts shown later do not include private loans — so the full freshman figure above is not directly comparable.
Across the full undergraduate body at Learning Bridge Career Institute (freshmen included), 77% finance part of their studies with federal loans, averaging $3,705 per year. This works out to 174.6% larger than the first-year federal average of $1,349.
Borrowing at that rate every year works out to about $7,410 across two years and $14,820 over four years. The estimate holds federal borrowing constant and does not count private or Parent PLUS loans.

The Difference Between Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans
Unsubsidized federal student loans accrue interest every month — even while you are still enrolled. Unless you pay that interest as it builds, the balance you owe at graduation can be noticeably higher than the amount you originally borrowed.
Did You Know?
Declaring bankruptcy does not erase federal student loan debt. If you stop paying, the federal government can garnish a portion of your wages until the loans are repaid.
