    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    It's percentage of students with debt.

    Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

    The comments at the bottom might have more facepalms and head scratchers than this place has had lately. I've heard idiots like that were out there, but I've never actually looked at a breitbart article to see them for myself. I'm a little shell-shocked at the ignorance, and I went into it with some pretty low expectations.
    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    As somebody else pointed out, their methodology was odd. South Dakota was #1 in share of students with debt which wallethub.com, for some reason, rated as being three times as important as the amount of debt per student. I mean, if your student loans have a low interest rate, people could be paying them off as slowly as possible. Wallethub also didn't reveal their complete data that I could see. I prefer complete information.
