I ended up graduating from the University of Michigan with $14,000 in student loan debt in 1997. I could have gone free elsewhere and, for me, it was a great deal. It was an amazing place to attend school and I never regret that decision. I earned my teaching certificate there and have earned the tuition cost back many times over.
I, personally, think that state colleges and universities are the best deals out there for in-state students. Students in Michigan who come from working-class/lower middle-class backgrounds, like I did, can attend the University of Michigan tuition-free and housing is also heavily subsidized.

Debt is worth it if it creates assets that pay for themselves over time. A house does that. A college degree from a solid state university does that. People really don't need to make the BEST decision every time. People just need to make GOOD decisions consistently through a long period of time.
