The election is less than two weeks away. According to the Education Data Initiative, about 13% of Massachusetts residents have federal student loan debt, averaging more than $35,000 in debt per individual.

On Radio Boston, we take a close look at how a new presidential administration could affect student borrowers and institutions.

Betsy Mayotte, president and founder of The Institute of Student Loan Advisors and Boston University student Corinne Davidson join us to talk about what the future could hold.

This segment aired on October 23, 2024.
