These figures are reported by the Department of Education and IPEDS.
For incoming students at Total Transformation Institute, 65% of new students use loans toward freshman-year expenses, for an average of $5,609 each — a figure that counts both private and federal student loans.
On the federal side, the average loan is $5,609. 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 Total Transformation Institute (freshmen included), 69% finance part of their studies with federal loans, with a mean of $5,680 annually. This is 1.3% more than the $5,609 typical freshmen borrow.
Carrying that yearly figure forward comes to roughly $11,360 in two years and roughly $22,720 over a four-year span. The estimate holds federal borrowing constant and does not count private or Parent PLUS loans.

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.
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.
